Heeeeeyyyyyyyyyy!
It's been a long while since I've had a chance for some challenge action.. {Don't cry for me, Argentina...!} I mean, I've been loving working up samples for Dawn's Color Cue - DON'T MISUNDERSTAND... But, I've missed making the rounds of some of my other favorite challenges... And this week, my sweet lil' friend, Dana, made me weak in the knees with her sample for the latest JUGS challenge... {check IT, friends - BREATH TAKING card craft, indeed!} I am POWERLESS over their colors of choice, so I carved out some time for paper-fun!
Just some of my MOST favorite colors together... Reminds me of my obsession with baby girl bedding back in the day... *sigh!* Anywhoo, lots of fun at the JUG'S site ~ Lisa is having a birthday, and let me just say that the samples are particularly OUTSTANDING! There's also incentive to twist your card into a birthday theme.. {I FORGOT! Doh!} Regardless, it was just a super terrific gas to work with these colors! I had a 12 days of T!m Holtz flashback and created one of his groovy grunge flowers with plain, old card stock, as recommended, by Dana, who has been swearing that you don't HAVE to use grungeboard to make them {and may I just say, she's RIGHT! And BOTH ways are awesome!}
I had it in my heart to really go to town with a couple of Dawn's {Wplus9DESIGN} newest collections, Woodgrain Silhouettes and Woodgrain Silhouette's Additions... But I couldn't quite get my wood grain "work" to jive with what I had already completed... I had MORE fun with some of the wonderful leaf patterns and images and even threw in one of Courtney's stamps!!! {A great pairing, indeed!} ... Funny, though, as I prepared to post this, I noticed that Dawn has a WONDERFUL tutorial on some cool techniques with her large wood grain stamp {which is AWESOME!} along with some tips from Kerrianne, so definitely check that out, too, if you have some time! Don't forget about Dawn's latest challenge and also her call for an additional DT member is still going on, so DON'T be SHY! Yipeee!
Okay, friends! I'm not even sure if I'm typing with any sort of accuracy, so I'd best wrap this up! Let's have a grand Tuesday, shall we! Thanks, SO MUCH, for dropping by!
