BIG IDEA FESTIVAL - WORDS TO LIVE BY

I am so excited to be taking a class at http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/.  The title is above and so far we have completed 6 days out of 12 (I think).  I have only completed 5 pages but have some time to post them here so decided I would share what I have completed.

This is a FREE class and very much fun!

SHARE is the word of Day One

WONDER is the word for Day 2

LESS is the word for Day 3

GIVE is the word for Day 4

ENJOY is the word for Day 5 and Day 6 will be NEST

This is so much fun, I hope some of you will join me for this class!



Taylored Expressions August Blast from the Past Blog Hop

I am very excited to be part of the TE Blog Hop this month!  I didn't get to participate last month.  The theme this month is "Collectors Anonymous"...time to use up those precious items we collect!  I have chosen RIBBON as my collection item.  It is a really simple card, but I am pleased with the results.  Thanks for looking:

Items used:  All paper from Taylored Expressions "July Kit".  The green and pink ribbon are also from the July Kit.  The rose teal ribbon is from my STASH...LOVE THIS!  Sentiment came from Taylored Expressions "It's in the Bag" stamp set.  Stamped with Teal Stazon.

Now it is time to take a look at the rest of the Blog Hop folks samples - ENJOY!

Here are the entries from the Taylored Expressions Blast from the Past blog hop! Click here for details on how you can join us next month! There's a free stamp set up for grabs for one lucky participant!

2 Cards for Color Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers 1 for CAS-ual Fridays!

I was not very excited about these colors until I finished the first card, then I decided to make another.  I was trying to use too much patterned paper.  These colors called for a "simple" card.  Let me know what you think:

This first card is for 2 challenges:

Color Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers CC333 and
Playin Clean and Simple at CAS-ual Fridays CFC13- find it here:  http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com/2011/07/cas-ual-fridays-challenge-cfc13.html

Very small list of items for this card:

White Cardstock (card measures 4x9)
SU Cardstock (Tangerine Tango and Island Indigo)
The Yellow Cardstock was a scrap from my stash

StazOn Jet Black stamp pad

The next card was only for the CC333 color challenge on Splitcoast Stampers:
