RICH & VIBRANT COLOUR Q

Wonderful colour choices again at Colour Q- don't know how they do it, but I love it!

 Here's my card.

It uses Faux Designer Paper Technique, a little punching and some ribbon.

These great weekly challenges get me going and I know I'll have at least one card to show you each week  :) That is Plan A anyway.

Haven't joined in the challenge yet? Did you know the website is packed with samples for all the colour challenges? With 109 challenges now, there must be a few that would appeal to you. Go here and see for yourself. Tons of inspiration!

Have an awesome weekend!

12 X 12 EASY PEASY

I only had one sheet of this designer paper but it became the perfect piece to wrap this gift and use on the card. I also put some on the envelope but I didn't show it in the photo.

The thing about using designer paper is you get a nice card, quickly.

I'm pleased with how the card and gift turned out.

The paper I used is from Hot Off the Press and if you've used their paper you know that it is just that- paper, not cardstock. The added bonus is not adding too much bulk or weight to the projects.

Just a quick and easy one for you today.

Hope you have a great day, whatever it is you're doing!

Thanks for stopping by.

COLOUR Q CANDY CORN

These colours definitely bring candy corn and halloween to mind. However, I went in a different direction.

The white areas around my card appear blue in the afternoon light from the window. It really is white.

Have you joined me in a Colour Q challenge yet? You know you want to.

We had a fabulous few days with our sons in Victoria- just what we all needed.

Have a terrific weekend!

29....ALREADY!

Where does the time go? Our eldest son has turned 29. Makes us feel a little old.

He is a very creative, kind and fun-loving guy. Of course, we think he rocks.

We're about to spend a few days with him and his brother (who also rocks) and we couldn't be happier about it. Family time will cancel out any blog time so......

have a great week and I hope to have something for you on the weekend.

Thanks for visiting and also, I want to thank you for the great comments and emails about what you see here. I really appreciate it. And you.

BIRTHDAY MEDALLION

A little bit elegant- perfect for an 82nd birthday.

Have a beautiful day!

MICA SNOW

Look at that amazing shimmer on the snowflake! Mica flakes provide some great sparkle and it goes on so easily. This card uses a glue pen and on others I've used double sided tape, liquid glue and adhesive sheet. Whatever adhesive you have will probably hold the mica flakes.

Hope your day has some sparkle.

Thanks for coming by.

YUMMY COLOURS

Check out the challenge colours today- they're all good enough to eat, or drink. I could drink my limeade while eating my pumpkin pie smothered in razzleberries and follow up with an espresso. :)

Okay, enough of that, here's my card...

This view will help you see the spritzed on white glimmer.

I hope you're tempted to play today. You'll find it all here.

Have a great day, no matter what.
