Ok, color challenge for SU Fans swap this week was Sahara Sand, Vintage Violet and Pixie Pink. I never would have made the card last night with the violet if I had remembered the combo for this week. Anyway, I had fun using my "think big" set, and was thrilled to see how well it worked with my new flower punch!
This was really a challenge for me. Almost all the cards I make (or swap) would be great to send to a girlfriend for whatever the occasion. At first I thought I needed to use something with pocketbooks or whatever... but I basically decided that anything would do. This card is made with the set "All the Best" from 2004. Colors are hard to tell - Mellow Moss for the leaves, Vintage Violet and Apricot Appeal for the flowers, and Basic Brown for the sentiment. Paper is Vintage Violet, with white and a tan that I thought looked nice, along with some colored brads. Hope you enjoy!
A weekend which involved a trip to "ink-about-it" in westford, ma involved some serious shopping with my mom and gram. I have been trying to clean up my stamp area but no such luck yet. It still looks like this: Kids' area - actually pretty clean (with the desk that I garbage picked off of the street last week).
This area here is the majority of my stamp storage - still trying to get that stuff worked out but it's getting better.
This area is for paper and ribbon, envelopes, markers, etc. but it's just a mess...
This is the area I've been working on, obviously. Stamp pads are in wooden cd holders bought for $1 at the mill store, punches are on racks meant for screwdrivers that I installed upside-down and the weird shaped punches are on one of them right side up, I have some new stamps on display on the right, misc. tools and bins, and my background stamps where I can use them all the time.
This is where all the stuff I haven't sorted is waiting. It just seems like such a daunting task...
