The ColourQ Challenge has a great new color combo for you!  I love blue, so this palette was right up my alley.  I decided to layer the die cut word, again, in shades of blue.  Some simple stamping behind the word was all I needed for this CAS card.

Check out the design team's beautiful projects!!

PTI November Blog Hop and FIF#43

I love this month's blog hop inspiration photo.  I love that it's all red and white with a bit of greenery.  My card uses this color scheme as well as the scale of prints on the fabrics.  The chair and the pillow have the same pattern in different sizes.  I used PTI's BB Houndstooth to create the same effect on the words and the background.

I die cut the word holiday in red to layer with the stamped word like I saw Dawn do in one of her videos.  I love this effect and in this case it made the word easier to read. 

Enjoy the hop! 

I can't wait to see what you have made!

I pinned so many wonderful projects from the past week!

Make It Monday #42

This week's Make It Monday challenges us to use sentiment stamps as part of our background.  This was the perfect inspiration for me to create a card and wine tag for a little hostess gift for Thanksgiving. 

I don't have the special wine bottle die.  I just cut the strip 3 inches wide.  Cut the triangle out of the bottom and used the Limitless Layers die to cut a hole. Really easy!

This is the first set I ever bought from Papertrey Ink, First Fruits, and I still love it!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
