Whiff of Joy and Color Dare Challenge....

Oh it's been such a *wonderful* day here in my craft room :o) Coffee tastes fantastic, tunes are cranked, ideas are a flowin'...and the challenges are wicked today! I've had such a great day!! Here are the details of my next creation(s)....

Whiff of Joy Challenge Blog has this wonderful sketch challenge up for us to try:

I have a few of their stamps and I totally *heart* them....this is the first time I've had ink on this one! She seems a bit "solemn" so I decided to make it a sympathy or "sorry" card. Seemed to fit her.....

The gals over at Color Dare have put together the most AWESOMEST colors...I really love this combination of colors...had no difficulty deciding what to do with them!! Hope you enjoy it too!!
Here are the 2 cards I made with the same stamp...I decided to make one a blonde cutie and one a brunette cutie....hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them!!

I am not sure if I will be back tonight or not, I have a very busy weekend ahead and so I need to get some stuff ready for that. Kim, our daughter, has a competitive swim meet in Edmonton tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. and that will be a full day. I might be back on Sunday - we'll see how the weekend goes....take care and happy stamping!!

Another 2-fer......

Wow, I got 2 more challenges done today - wahoooo on a roll! I did this one in between helping my kids with school work :) Nothing like learning about electricity, Native Peoples and crafting :) Here is the color challenge that is offered today over at Diva Coffee Break Designs:

And this is the sketch challenge that was offered last Saturday over at iheart2stamp:

And this is my card combining both challenges:

I totally *love* the colors of this challenge, I'm just not sure about the spaces left on the bermuda bay squares...do they need something on there? Maybe some rub on's??? Or, do I leave them the way they are.....please let me know what you think.....I had a lot of fun doing this sketch challenge - my creation kept changing, thus...my office looks like a tornado went through it! HAHAHA .... I'm off to tidy up before I feed the kids and head out to 4H. It's supposed to get VERY cold here tonight, so I am going to hunker down when I get back home and do some more crafting and sip on some tea.....:) Have a great night!!!
