Happiness, You make me smile

I got to play in my craftroom last night :) I only made one card but boy did it feel good.

I used the 2012 anniversary set from PTI, Pretty Peonies, as well as Half and Half die and stamp, and Edgers. I had a Studio Calico kit out and was inspired by the blue dot paper and the Accent Cuts that are from Crate Paper Random that were in the SC Country Fair Scrapbooking kit.

This is being mailed out tomorrow to thank someone for a very thoughtful gift.

I had this photo up from Dawn McVey's blog that gave me the inspiration:

I love her bold, clean cards.

Click on this photo and it will bring you to her blog.

Thank you for checking in!

BTW: if anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong while photographing my projects I would love to know. I have a good camera, and I've been playing with lighting, but clearly I'm doing something wrong.  They look better in person :(  Thanks in advance.

Color Combination #5

I'm normally pretty simple when I create, but this incorporates a lot of colors. I would even go as far as to say it's a rainbow card:

The PTI dies make this card.

Color Combination #4

Pink is sometimes hard for me but using Melissa's combos it was fun.

Color Combination #3

This one is from Erin Lincoln

Here is my take:

Color Combination #2

I used this color combo and let the kraft and cream do most of the talking.

Color Combination #1

So I took the idea of Dawns color theme and made it work for my nephews. I changed the pinks into aquas. I am loving this combination, Thank you Dawn.

these skateboards are just perfect for my three nephews.

Scrapbook Mega Upload

I finally took photos of my scrapbooking pages that I've completed in the last year or so. For now I'm just going through them all up here, hopefully later I'll add comments. TFL
