Creative Color by CardMaker

Did you see my post on Facebook? One of my cards is gracing the cover of CardMaker's latest special issue, Creative Color! I used Pebbles' Seen and Noted collection along with their I KAN'DEE chalk and stencils for this project.

To make these tag accents, I used stencils to pencil in the sun, balloon and heart shapes onto tags. Then I pierced holes around the shapes for stitching. Lastly, I used chalks to color them in. What do you think? I really like the color palette of the Seen and Noted line along with the stripes and polka dot patterns.

I look forward to getting my copy of Creative Color in the mail soon. I can't wait to see all the colorful projects in it and learn a new technique or two! This issue hits newsstands on September  3, 2013.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing in my exciting news! Have a super day!

Sunnyside

How was your Fourth of July? Ours was lovely! I didn't think I'd miss posting from my blog the entire weekend, but we were having so much fun that I never stepped foot in my office. It's important to do that from time-to-time, don't you think? 

As the 2012-2013 Pebbles design team term comes to a close, I'm reminded of the first projects I created with the beautiful Sunnyside collection and I enjoyed bringing it out again to create a couple more cards for  you. 

What do you think? Do you like Sunnyside as much as I do? And Polaroid frames? I recently got this Polaroid thin metal die from My Favorite Things...it is quickly becoming a go-to die!

Well, it's going to be a bit tough today to ease back into the weekday routine. Christopher just headed off to school...his first day of 7th grade. He was quite nervous because he's been told that in 7th grade he'll be working even harder. Maybe that will mean homework on weekends? He's an honor roll student so I have faith that he'll do wonderfully! 

Hope you all have a good Monday. Thanks for stopping by!

Good day!

It's been a crazy morning at our house! A morning where nothing seems to go as planned starting with the alarm clock not working. Then Christopher's school bus never arrived and our out-of-town guest had to leave in the middle of it all! Whew! Hopefully the rest of the day will run a bit smoother. :)

So, let's take a deep breath and smile, shall we? ;)

If you enjoyed yesterday's bicycle card, you probably like this one too. Both created with the colorful My Girl collection by My Mind's Eye.

Well, I'm going to take off and hopefully get things back on track around here. Thanks for your visit! Hope to see you again tomorrow! :)
