Color Inspiration #19 @ Kwernerdesign...

I was way overdue for submitting a card for Kristina's Color Challenge over at Kwerenerdesign.com. As I look back at my last submission at the beginning of July, the colors I used then are very similar to today's card. Oh well, I'm a sucker for black and white I guess. Here's my latest design and submission for her Challenge...

My First Baby Shower Card Creation...

Today, I went to my sister-in-law's baby shower. She is having another little girl, Allie, due in early October. I also got to see my almost 3 year old niece, Ainsley. She was a blast to play with today. She is growing up way to quickly.

Here is the card that I made for Baby Allie to come...


















I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I'm heading off to the beach tomorrow. The weather should be much cooler down there. =)

Go Team USA!

Well, the Olympics are here and I'm so excited! I'm most excited about watching the Women's Gymnastics Team, Swimming, and Beach Volleyball!
As far as the Women's Gymnastics team goes...here are my 3 favorite girls...










They are Nastia Liukin, Alicia Sacramone, and Shawn Johnson.
These girls rock and I can't wait to watch them perform. =)
Who are your favorites? What events are you most excited about?

Time to Play...

This weekend I had my good friend Mackenzie over and we scrapped a little. I was able to create a few cards and play around with some new paper and goodies. I found some pretty ribbon at Michael's and am still trying for the perfect bow. Here are my creations...











































Well, I hope everyone had a nice relaxing weekend and a nice work week ahead. I have a short 3 day week because I go off-track this week. I have all of August off. I'm looking forward to some time with friends & family and visiting the beach. =)

Happy 4th of July!!!

I hope everyone had a nice day with family and friends! Early in the day, I attended our Annual City Parade and then went out to catch some good sales at the mall. I was hoping to upload a new card today but it's not working for me tonight. I will try and get it loaded up on here soon. Red, white, & blue colors are so fun to work with. =)
(By the way, I did not take the above picture. They are just pretty fireworks I found somewhere.)

Color Inspiration #14

Kristina over at KWernerDesign picked some of my favorite colors this week for her challenge.
Here's my creation...

Still on the flower trend...

Here's another card using the pink flowers that I used before. I also added a white fuzzy ribbon (I don't know the technical term for it). I really loved the paper that I used for the last three cards. I'll have to buy some more because this is the end of it. =)
