Fabu-Monday Featured Artist!! CDSWCC18

Happy Monday! I hope your weekend was fabulous and that you all enjoyed a lovely Mother's Day with your loved ones!

I want to thank all of the lovely ladies who played along with me this weekend!  It was so difficult to choose just one!! you must stop by and check out everybody's creations - really amazing and inspiring!! (What a bunch of show-offs!! lol...just teasin'!)

Anyhoo, without further ado, I am thrilled to share the card I chose from those submitted in the CDS Weekend Color Challenge!

I chose to feature the lovely Grace's creation today!  What a cool card!! There's so much detail and she used all of the colors in the challenge beautifully!  I am so impressed, especially because I personally though the colors were NOT the easiest to work with! lol.. Well Grace, you rocked them with style!! Thank you so much!!

Be sure to stop by Grace's blog and leave her some luv!!

Again, a big ol' smooch to all the ladies who played along!! The cards were all perfect!!

Congrats Grace!  

Thanks for playing!

CDS Color Fun!

Happy Friday sugar bunnies!!

It's time for me to host the Clear Dollar Stamps' Weekend Color Challenge!! Please join me!  I promise it'll be fun!! 

Of course since Mother's Day is right around the corner I figured I would pick a color combo that was both fun and would work nicely for a last minute Mother's Day card to show your luv!!  

If you want participate, please respond to the group discussion at PCP located HERE!

Here are the full "deets" if you wanna play!

Easy right?? well, get stamping!!

The colors I chose for this challenge are:

Riding Hood Red

Blush Blossom

Certainly Celery

White/Kraft  - Optional as a Neutral

**Of course, keep in mind I listed SU! color names, but you are welcome to use any brand of your choice in similar shades. 

Here's what I came up with!!

Probably NOT very traditional for a mother's day card, but why not?? It's all about showing some love to your best friend, your mom, your sister or any special "mom" in your life! 

Now let's kick off the weekend with some fun stamping!!

Supplies:

Cardstock:  Kraft, Blush Blossom, Certainly Celery, White, Riding Hood Red from Stampin' Up!

Happy Monday!

May 4th already!!  eek! It still is awfully quiet around here these days huh?

Well, my friend Yvette and I went to a crop last week (for the first time in a looooong time!!) and I was able to do some scrapbooking.  I'm feeling some new inspiration coming on and I even did a couple of challenges over at scrapbook.com so I thought I'd pop in and share my newest layouts!

Here's Rae smothering his daughter as usual. ugh. gag me  - I know!!

and here are "my boys" last summer.  I took this picture as we were walking towards the marina where that dreaded boat (Rae's wife) is kept!

Working on these layouts I realized how much I miss having my "mojo" flowing!  I am dusting off my stamps and looking forward to getting back to my toys!

Hope your May is off to a fabulous start!!

By the way, this Friday I will be hosting the CDS challenge over at PCP, so please check back in & join us!

Hugs,

P.S. Notice my "new" blog look?  It's actually an oldie - this is a design the lovely Courtney did for me years ago, but I felt I needed to bring it back for a change! I'm unveiling a very new one soon!!
