A Bold Thanks

I'm taking Kerri Bradford's Silhouette Getting to Know You class. It is a self-guided class full of great tips, easy to follow videos and a terrific message board. I'm enjoying it a lot. If you are Silhouette owner, check it out over at JessicaSprague.com. I'm looking forward to her more advanced class coming up later this month too.

One of the class projects was to make a circle card with one of Kerri's cutting files. I used this week's ColourQ Challenge for my color scheme. It's a bold color scheme that really makes an impact with a simple card structure.

Hello Blog

Yes, it's been a while.

I've really been enjoying my summer away from the computer. Even if it means not keeping up on my blog, my friends on Facebook or the 1500+ entries in Google Reader.


This is a card with coordinating tag that I made for my cousin's daughter on her 1st Communion.
The color scheme is so spring-y to me and was inspired by the
colourQ Challenge #31.

This is the gift with the envelope tucked under the ribbon and the card on display. I love wrapping presents with plain kraft paper because I can customize the ribbon and tag to match the card.

ColourQ #32

This week's color combination at ColorQ was my inspiration for this card.

I also repurposed a container that originally held Making Memories blossoms into a cute little gift holder. I used the same dotted stamp on vanilla cardstock and backed it with green and kraft.

cardstock: Prism (green), Club Scrap (vanilla) and Bazzill (orange and kraft)
stamps: Papertrey Ink (Round & Round)
die: Papertrey Ink (Mat Stack 1)
ink: Clearsnap (rousillon), Palette (jardin moss) and Versafine (onyx)
jewels: Doodlebug
corner rounder: Creative Memories
border punch: Fiskars
foam adhesive: Creative Memories
