Oh Happy Day!

When I first saw this color scheme at Color Me Scrappy I was like...oh no!! It really wasn't what I would have picked to work with but when I started pulling papers, it all came together so nicely!!!



I put most of my focus on the teal color instead of the browns and really love how this page turned out!! You still have a couple of days to play along with us at CMS for your chance to win the May Prize which is the new Tim Holtz Marker Spritzer!!! I would love to see you join in and link up!!

A Birthday Card for Craft Hoarders!

Good Morning scrappy friends! Time for another fun challenge from Craft Hoarders Anonymous!!


Challenge #8 Show us Some Metal or GlassDo you hoard gears, pins, brads, eyelets, frames, and other metal do-dads? Do you have a thing for tiny light bulbs and glass vials? Do junk drawers make you giddy? Do you hang out in office supply stores so you can score funky paperclips? Do bottle caps make you swoon? Dig through your hoard to find something metal or glass (or both) and make a project to share!
I went outside of my comfort zone and create a card using a "Happy Birthday" sentiment stamp from Sin City stamps!!!



Once again we are teaming up with Sin City stamps to bring you loads of inspiration!! Here are the links to the Sin City design team...

I love the softness the colors give to the page! :)

Starting with the June challenges, I will be adding some fun twists to go along with the color schemes. Hopefully that will get more interest in the challenges and get more ladies to participate!!
This is the page I created for the current challenge...
