Purple and Orange at 365...

I'm posting out of sequence, but "oh well"... 


Today's overcast and cold (very un-July), and I don't feel like housework (when do I?).  I've enjoyed the week of colour challenges so much at 365 Cards, that I thought I'd finish off the week by completing the two remaining challenges, which are two of my fave colours.  :)   Thanks for poppin' by!

365 Cards - Challenge 188

It's Touchy-Feely Friday over at 365 Cards! What does that mean? The specific challenge is to use felt or flocking on your card.

I chose the flocking... and kept it simple by using DCWV's La Creme Stack! Delish neutral palette with classic patterns and texture... Of course, I had to add a bit of colour and sparkle for my Gorjuss little fairy...

Design Paper - Die Cuts With a View "La Creme"; Image - Sugar Nellie; Chipboard Sentiment - Dollar Store; Ribbon - Michael's; Rose Stickles & CTMH Watercolour Pencils.




OK, it's late... I'm snoozy, but only because I couldn't resist staying up late to get an early start on Friday's challenge AND to play with my new Artistic Outpost stamps. I want to play some more, but I do have to work tomorrow, so this quickie post and it's 'hit the hay' time!

This one's not for a challenge...it's just for fun.

Night all...

365 Cards - Challenge 187

Today's challenge is Label It - to use a label on your card. Any kind will do - when in doubt, pull that one off the can of Campbell's Soup ;)

(Pam actually inserted a cute winkie-face after this statement, which I take to mean that she had a devilish grin on her face as she was assigning this challenge)

If Pam only knew the trouble this challenge caused me - she would probably laugh. I've never met Pam, but she strikes me as a lady with a sense o' haha. I spent half the day lamenting that my hubby (I loves ya, pooks), who bought a pair of jeans last week when we were on vacation with a very cool label - canvas, screenprinted and perfect for a card... well, he threw away the label in the hotel bin, and darn that maid service... it was gone, gone, gone.

The other half of the day I was mulling over possibilities. None that really inspired me (after the disappointment of the jeans label!) I have labels from tea, coffee, soup, beans and pet food on my desk right now.

I settled on this cat food label, and a cat-themed hello card. I liked the purple. The card kinda turned out Halloweenie, but that wasn't clever or timely design, it was pure accident.

I'm just glad that challenge is over, and tomorrow it's FRIDAY! I'm really, really looking forward to the next 365 challenge and to this upcoming long weekend. I'm going to forgo the housework and get all inky and gluey!! Dust be damned! I've just received a shipment of Artistic Outpost stamps that I'm dying to play with!! Wooo Hooo!

Oh yeah... those jeans... hubby's butt looks HOT in 'em! Not a total loss after all. ;) (Devilish grin of my own, Pam)

Life is good.
