Time to play

I actually had a bit of free time this past weekend, so after I got done making the cards that I needed to make I decided to participate in a couple of challenges.  For the first time I decided to mix it up a bit and use a colour challenge and a sketch challenge. 
The sketch is clean&simple, of course, FTL99 and the color challenge #32 is from Makeesha Byl's Inkspiration. It is a very soft color combo.  Not something that I am used to.

I'm not sure what I think of this card.  I think if I had to do it again, I would probably emboss the So Saffron part to give it a bit more detail. 

I used the Hostess set Apple Blossom, which you can earn by hosting a workshop with me.  If you are interested, please contact me.

Jump for Joy!

Today's card is the one that I posted about last Thursday.  I had meant to post it earlier than this, but life is just busy all around!  The workshop that I demoed at on Saturday was great.  Got to see some old friends, meet some new friends and I think I probably could have even adopted a grandma or two!  It was such a fun afternoon, even though it was POURING rain and hailing!!  It was so bad at times that I thought I wouldn't be able to come home that night.  Luckily my grandma had a nice hot bowl of homemade soup for me before I had to drive home.
Enough babbling from me, onto the card. This card was made for a lovely couple that recently found out that their adoption court date has gone through and they are officially parents! 

The baby's room is going to be decorated with giraffes so I had to use the giraffe from Fox & Friends (in wood or clear mount).  The paper was a Sale-A-Bration freebie!  I used that paper as the new mommy has a shirt that is very close to that pattern.  The colours are a bit different, but I figured that it was close enough to make it special.
I had some time yesterday that I got to spend in my craft room, so I should have a few posts this week.  As long as I can find the time to get them posted, as some days that seems to take almost as long as actually making the cards.

Will post soon

I have a very cute card that I want to post but I am busy getting ready for another workshop that I have this weekend and playing volleyball for my husbands team as they are short on girls tonight. I hope to post it soon.
