Color Throwdown!!!

Good Monday Morning to you! I'm getting ready to head over to school for a little bit to get some more organizing accomplished in the classroom, but I wanted to share a quick post before I head out the door. I'm in need of some quick thank you cards, so I took my inspiration from Color Throwdown #106. I needed to change Soft Sky to Baja Breeze. Other than that, all of the colors are the same from the challenge and I'm happy with the results.

The Kraft card base and the sentiment are from Papertrey Ink. I used Stampin' Up's Certainly Celery for the grass which was made with my Die-namic from My Favorite Things. I also used Certainly Celery ink for the leaves of the tree and Chocolate Chip for the trunk. The stamp set is called Season of Friendship and it is available through Stampin' Up. I stamped the little bird in Baja Breeze onto a scrap to match the ribbon. Then I cut him out and popped him up with a dimensional. A little stitching on the bottom completes this card.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a beautiful day...Toodles! :D

Color Throwdown #100

Like I said last week, part of my goal this summer has been to stamp more and to participate in some of the challenges that I can't always seem to do during the school year. I always enjoy the color challenges that the Color Throwdown team comes up with, so today I made time to try out their 100th challenge! This week's colors are some of my favorites...Regal Rose, Certainly Celery, Real Red, and Baja Breeze. You can find their challenge here if you'd like to join in too. I went with a clean and simple design. The sentiment and leaves are from Papertrey Ink's Everyday Button Bits and then I used some buttons from my stash (Foofoola, American Crafts, and Making Memories) to coordinate with the challenge colors. I added a piece of Certainly Celery Twill to finish this design off. I hope that you have a beautiful day and thanks so much for stopping by for a visit...Toodles! :D
