More cards from "The Lucky One"

These are two more of the cards that were inspirations from "The Lucky One" Compose a Card: 5 challenge found at Hemidemisemiquaver.blogspot.com. I enjoy cooking so, these were a variation with some of the ingredients. I guess that you could consider these to be my "gourmet" cards from my pantry of stamping supplies.

Enjoy the Challenge: Play with Color

What a fun challenge from Becky Oehlers. The recipe for the card sketch is included here. The inspiration that Becky had reminded me of some vintage aprons and kitchen towels that my grandmother had. So, I ventured into the cards with a sense of nostalgia. I found the Aqua Mist and Poppy Red to be a challenge...so I played with several cards. This card is probably closest to the recipe. I kept the red and white as the only colors. My other cards have a touch of the Aqua Mist and the Poppy Red. I had fun with some of the Mary Engelbriet embellishments that captured fun and bright colors. Hope you enjoy and have a chance to play along.

Challenge: Compose A Card: #4

Time for another terrific challenge. This is my take on Compose a Card: 4. Hope you enjoy and will play along!

Feel Better Blend

When someone doesn't feel well or has a cold, what could be better than a fresh cup of tea? Inspired by Origami, I created a box and gift enclosure from soothing colors from Papertrey Ink made the perfect way to package a special blend of tea and good wishes.

Time Flies!

Remember painting by number? This was a challenge to use specific colors in any creation. We have new neighbors and thought this would be clever to include when I take some fresh baked treats.

Challenges, Challenges!

Wow, what a week of challenges! I want to post and share the excitement with you. Stop by and see all of the wonderful new products and creations at Nichole Heady's blog http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/. I am including several that I have created to express my interpretation of the challenges. Sweet Violets is a crafter's challenge to create a card and sheet of embellishments to share with a crafting friend. I thought quilt squares would be fun.
