Kristina's Color Challenge...Finally!!

Well I have been wanting to participate in Kristina's color challenge since she started them. If you haven't been to her blog, she posts a color challenge every week. You can check out her blog here http://kwernerdesign.com/blog/. Finally, I had some time to produce something that appealed to me and was really quick and easy! I didn't want to create a card. It had to be either a scrapbook page or some 3-D type item. This is what I came up with. The patterned paper incorporates almost all the colors in the challenge except for old olive. I had to add some old olive ribbon but it just looked to out there by itself so I added the pretty in pink ribbon with it. For those who relish the time they have to stamp, there is no stamping involved in this project but I'm sure if you use this as inspiration you can incorporate some stamping somewhere (smile). Feel free to leave a comment and thanks for looking!

Valentine's Day Bags and a Giveaway

Hi Everyone,

I made so many gifts for Christmas that I can't seem to stop! Since Christmas is over, I thought I would get a head start on Valentine's day! Yes I know we have over a month until the big day but I'm on a roll right now and I don't want to lose momentum! So here is what I'm proposing, I know that I'm going to go overboard with gift making (seeing as I'm in the mood to create!). If you subscribe to my blog, you will be entered into a drawing for these gift bags. I know gasp...how do you subscribe you ask? Well type your e-mail in the box to the right that says subscribe. Those who have already subscribed, well your in the drawing already! I may throw in a little extra treat so no time to waste, get those fingers typing! :)
