It's About Time

This is for today's Color Color Combo Challenge on SCS. We had to create a card using Baja Breeze, Soft Suede and Pale Plum (that I had to dig out of the retired bin!) 

I also wanted to say that I'm so glad that April (Aprilo) decided to join me!!!! She says I inspired her, but it was her that inspired me. I saw a beautiful Shutter card she had made on her website and since I had never made one before decided to give it a try. You can see April's card  ---> here. So now then, my card is below.

Loads of Wildflowers

I made this card for the Musical Card Challenge on SCS. This weeks song for inspiration was Wildflower by the JaneDear Girls. I have had this set for quite awhile and never had a need to use it until now. The challenge was to make a card inspired by the video/song. In the video the girls have an older truck like this one (only red) and they're singing about flowers.

Dueling Divas - Round 10

We are on our second go around with the dueling and I am having so much fun! I love love love all the kits we've been getting.

This month's hostess was Carol (momcgw). She sent all kinds of lovely goodies for us to create with and I especially liked the cofee bean printed ribbon! I was able to come up with two different creations and still have plenty left for at least 2 more. Thank you Carol for the awesome kit!

Lastly, this months theme was "The Perfect Blend." The theme was centered around coffee in honor of our fabulous team leaders (they both love their Starbucks coffee!) -- Kelly (MiamiKel4) and Jeanette (Forest Ranger). So with that said I would like to give a shout out to the Divas team leader , Kelly! Kelly is an awesome person and very supportive. She always has something nice to say no matter what. Thank you Kelly for being such a great leader!

I would also like to send a high 5 to the Dazzler's team leader, Jeanette! Jeanette like Kelly always has nice things to say about and to everyone and she always make me laugh! She is also a very generous and caring lady. Thank you Jeanette!

Altered Hand Sanitzer

I found these little bottles of hand sanitzer at Target for a $1 and got a couple just to mess around with. This is what I came up with. I thought they would make nice little birthday or thank you gifts for the kids' teachers at school.

Happy Earth Day!

Not sure if you know it, but April 22 is Earth Day. A couple of years ago when my daughter first went to college in Miami (far way from Texas!) I made her an Earth Day card and sent her the money to go see Disney's Earth movie. I did the same for last year for her to see Disney's Oceans. I don't think there is an Earth friendly movie this year, but I still made her a card and will send her a few bucks. Like me, she is amazed at all the fantastic wonders our beautiful Earth has to offer and truly wish more people could see this and help preserve it. For now, Jasmine and I are doing our part in our little corners of the world.

Dueling Divas - Round 9

This month's hostess was Miss Joan. I so so loved this kit, mostly for the colors. I won't even mention all the goodies that Joan sent us to use. I had ideas popping all over the place the minute I opened the envie. The ribbon was to die for along with the DSP.  :D Thanks Joan!
