Danielle's b'day

I created this card with my 6 yo DD for her bff's birthday on Friday. It remained pretty simple, and I would have added more black, but she wouldn't go for that! We used Kelly Jo's color chef challenge #4 and this weeks card Patterns sketch.

I usually don't help the kids with creating their friends cards, but I wanted to join in on my friend Ali's challenge for Sisterhood of Scrap, and one of the options in the challenge was to create a project with a 7 on it. Since this was a perfect opportunity I had to help her.

Unity flowers

Today's card is one I made for color inspiration #50 at kwernerdesigns.com

My coloring is so off here, but really that is brown not black!

I think I'll keep this one to send to my Aunt while she undergoes her chemo treatments, hopefully it will brighten her day.

Fishing Thanks

I rec'd this set of stamps from Unity today in the mail. It's actually a winter themed set and this little guy was ice fishing, but I covered the part of the stamp that had the hole in the ice. Hopefully with these colors it looks summery enough. We frequently visit friends cottages during the summer, so thought it would be nice card to have on hand for that. I placed an order from Unity stamps and spent enough to get a freebie, so this set was a nice little surprise.

Today's challenge at 365 cards was to use a fish on a card, so getting this in the mail today was perfect. I also used the sketch found here, by Jen del Muro, and the color combination came from Jennifer Buck for challenge #1 at Unity's birthday party celebration.

baby Congrats

Friends just became grandparents this weekend, so this card is for them.
I combined 2 challenges, yesterday's sketch at 365 cards and challenge #10 at Sisterhood of Scrap to use this poster as inspiration for a card or layout.

I tried to brighten the picture, but it's now too bright, the colors are much softer.

Quick Easter page

Just a quick page of some Easter pics from 06 for Scott's album. He is 'much' too old for the typical Easter colors and such, so went more masculine on this one. I used sketch #8 from The Scrappiest, a new sketch blog I just found.
