Color Challenge

This post is a little late for this week, and I am sorry. I have been working on my Valentine Buffet Workshop and lots of running errands this week plus, getting food ready today for tomorrow's All Day Crop!!!!!
Here is another peek at a card you can make.

Parts of this super simple card is cut with both the Close To My Heart Art Phylosophy and the Artiste Cricut Cartridge. The Cashmere piece was cut using my Gypsy incorporating two different shapes from the Art Phylosophy. Using this little machine helped me be able to utilize the paper I cut it from also. You can do the same thing by cutting this piece at 5 1/2" x 3 1/2" then, using the Center Point Button on your Cricut Machine to cut the 2 1/4" circle about 1" down from the top.

Here is a close up of the flower. Rolled flower from the Art Phylosophy and 3 different sizes of the same die cut flower from the Artiste. Stamp with

 this background stamp D1637 Jumping Geometrics. 

The rest of the card was stamped with the January Stamp of the Month. The round stamp fits exactly inside the circle.

I used retired Baby Pink, Cashmere, Colonial White, Hollyhock, Pixie, Cotton Candy and Cocoa. Now, its your turn, make something with these colors or something similar and post it on my Facebook Page.

Valentine Card Buffet and All Day Crop!

The weather man is reporting a warm up this weekend! Looking forward to a little warmer weather myself. How about you?

Last week I shared the January Fun that's going on with Close To My Heart. The fun is still happening and if you missed the blog, click on the words January Fun to catch up.

Still working on the Valentine Buffet Workshop. I have settled on a date and also a date for the first All Day Crop for this year! Check out the information to the right of this blog and the Events tab above.

Here is a sneak peek of the Bonus Gift Box we will make after the 2 hour buffet workshop is done! Of course, you have the option of decorating it to your liking. This is just a sample. 

Come and join the Fun and make Valentine Cards and a gift box for your Sweeties!

Part of the fun of today's blog is I am sharing some wonderful and creative ideas from some fellow consultants in a blog hop. Start here and jump from blog to blog. They have added the next person's link in their blog which is usually towards the bottom of the blog and highlighted. Have fun hopping and looking. 

Retired Stamp Sets and more!

Hey ladies! It's January already! Like you all haven't 
noticed. LOL! Christmas is over, New Year's is over and now were looking forward to a long winter's rest. I call it hibernating, and this is when I can really get some cards and scrapbooking done! Who is with me?

Even though we didn't have a White Christmas or even a real cold one, we sure are white and below zero cold this week and especially today! My dear Hubby and I took a little road trip about 30 miles south of us to meet our Son and deliver his mail to him plus deliver an order to a dear sweet friend of mine this evening.We started out about 4:30 and although the wind was blowing snow, the road wasn't too bad. By the time we started back towards  home, it was blowing harder and snowing so, the roads were becoming more thick with sticking snow, plus the wind was making it a bit hard to see the road in front of us. I am glad we had our Suburban! 

So, talking about hibernating, and making cards and scrapbook pages, that is what I have been doing this past week. It's the first I have been able to get up here for a month at least. We had a lot of family events going on like I am sure the rest of you have too. I was working on a Valentine Workshop this week to take to Ohio tomorrow but, now I have to cancel. Looking forward to maybe rescheduling for them. I will be posting pictures and offering a workshop here also with these same cards. Watch for the event on here and Facebook.
