One of my all time favorite color combos is

PINK and BROWN!  The Dynamic Duos

colors for this week are just that…..

DD#56

And I paired this great combo with a sketch from

Freshly Made Sketches.  They asked us to

try to Square things up this time.  I was thrilled, cause I haven’t

made a square card in quite sometime.

Hi Friends…Happy weekend!  Yahoo!!!!

Today my good card lovin friend and fellow DT member VICKI over at JUGS

has a wonderful color challenge for us to try!

JUGS189

Love this color combo!!  And here is what I came up with!

IMG_0003

(The coral IRL is not quite that dark orange)

It’s that time of year when I am in the need Graduation Cards

and even though this card doesn’t scream graduation that is what it’s going to be used for!

I used some Washi Tape to make my arrow and that sentiment stamp I have had forever and I

believe it is from Michaels.   Also,  I Love my new Chevron folder from Stampin Up and

I can imagine it’s going to be getting a lot more use!  Finished it off with some twine, buttons and stars.

Now, the rest of the  JUGS team has some wonderful samples to get your inspiration going,

so just hop on over to the Just Us Girls blog, and check out what the Design Team has created for you.

Then put your creative genes to work and add your card/project to the challenge post on the JUGS blog

for the chance to be selected as our Chic of the Week.

Can’t wait to see what you all create!

I got this sketch idea from retro Sketches…..but the link closed before I could post this one! :(

Anniversary Celebration @ DD

May14

The Dynamic Duos are Celebrating a One Year Anniversary!

To celebrate they are asking us to create a project using one of our PAST COLOUR COMBOS.

I chose this one!

DD#7

 Pink and Black look amazing together…don’t ya think?

If this card looks familiar I made one almost like it a few months back and

I decided I liked it so well that I would do it again with some sentiment changes!

Another JUGS Inspiration!

Apr30

I still had all the colors from my last JUGS card all over my crafting table

and a co-worker asked me to make a”Girly” College Graduation card for her…..

so what else screams Girly then; Pink and Bling!

So here is another card that goes right along with my

Hostess challenge over at Just Us Girls!

It looks very similar to some of my latest work!

IMG_0003

Please won’t you play along…I would love if you would!

There is still time!

JUGS+186

I am also linking this up to a new site I stumbled

upon called ABC Challenges.

ABC challenge badge 2013

They asked us to either make a Mother’s Day card or a

feminine card. I chose the latter!

 It has been 16 years since my mom has passed

and I still miss her as if it was yesterday!

I don’t believe I have even made a Mother’s Day card since.

Take care,

Nancy

A Different Sketch…

Second Post for the day so…..

If you are looking for CAS on Sunday…Please Scroll Down

As soon as I laid eyes on this sketch over at CAS(E) this week, I knew I wanted to play along.

The first thing that came to mind is this great tree stamp that I have

that I haven’t used in quite a while from Verve.

Then I went looking for a color challenge, and I didn’t have to go far.

I went right to my reliable Dynamic Duos, and then the creativity began.

10 Minute & One layer

Apr25

The other day as I was going around to my favorite blogs that I love to follow and I came across this new challenge site called 10 Minute Craft Dash.

 As I was looking at the DT’s wonderful examples, I thought there is no way this girl can make a card in 10 minutes…10 hours yes….but not 10 minutes! LOL….

Well, all week I have been going back an revisiting this site and figured…how you going to know unless you try.  So try I did!

ImageI DID IT!!!

9 minutes and 46 seconds!

CD_16

 I would have to say that having a timer sitting next to you is a little nerve racking, and I hope I didn’t cheat because I had everything laid out ready to go ahead of time.

I don’t think I would call this a complete success, as I am not sure yet what I think of the card.  Yes, I made it in under 10 minutes but, not with out some major bumps along the way.

The sentiment got rocked and has a shadow,(hate that) the chalk was suppose to just go on the embossed image and not on the background but, that didn’t work so well.

So at the last minute I decided to chalk up the background very lightly to cover my mistakes.

I was going for a softer feel!

So what do you think?

 Sometimes I look at it and think it’s kinda cool and then other times I think it looks like a card I made in 10 minutes.

I must say though…it was fun using my chalks again!

 I forgot how much I enjoy that art medium.

You can’t tell in the photo, but I also used my scor-pal

and put a dividing line between the image and the sentiment.

I am also linking this card up to the Paper Players…One Layer Challenge!

I think I have only made a total of 3 One layer cards before….it is a big challenge for me!

Now, have I inspired you to see if you can meet either of  these challenges?

Good Luck!

Thanks for stopping in!
