Color Dare 245

Little Dreamer
Color My Heart challenge this week is with the Little Dreamer paper pack.
During my endeavor to clean out my CTMH stash of unused items
I ran across this card from Artfully Sent that was never used. The colors in
the Little Dreamer seemed perfect for a cheerful and happy card. 
I used a sample of each paper for the letters and accented
with the flowers from Happy to be Friends.
Be sure to share your creations with Little Dreamer 
this week at Color My Heart.
CTMH Supplies:
B&T Duos: Little Dreamer
Cardstock: White Daisy, Thistle

We Salute Our Troops

This card is accented with the blue burlap ribbon and bakers
twine for the ribbon challenge at Heart 2 Heart. Also added
a triple layer star using the basic star thin cut (available only

Everyday Life

In Retirement Land
Heart 2 Heart challenge for Everyday Life got me to thinking. 
Since being retired everyday is like Saturday. No worries about
what time it is or where do I have to be or what do I have to do.
No clocks to rule the day. Everything gets done on my schedule.
Whether it's sipping my favorite drink, lounging in my favorite
chair, or chilling under the umbrella everyday is a Saturday. 
OMG...It's Sunday and I need to get this post up for
Atlantic Hearts.  No worries. I still have time. 
If you missed this sketch at Atlantic Hearts a new one will
be posted tomorrow. Be sure to check it out and come play.
CTMH Supplies:
B&T Duos: No Worries
Cardstock: White Daisy
Stamps: No Worries
Ink: Lagoon, Glacier, Cashmere
Embellishments: Prickly Pear Sequins

Coming Up Roses

With Live Beautifully 
Heart 2 Heart Challenge "Coming Up Roses" worked
just great with the Color My Heart Live Beautifully
 paper pack for National Scrapbooking Month.
To make a layered rose just stamp the rose 3 or 4
times and cut out different sections of the rose. Edge
each section with a sponge to accent the section. Pop up 
each layered section and add bitty pearls in the center. 
You still have time to play at Heart 2 Heart and Color My Heart
and share your special creations with us.
CTMH Supplies:
B&T Duos: Live Beautifully
Cardstock: Thistle, White Daisy
Stamps: Live Beautifully, Happy Birthday
Ink: Thistle, New England Ivy
Embellishments:Bitty Pearls

Heart 2 Heart

Meets Color My Heart
The color challenge at Color My Heart is inspired by the colors of 
 Little Dreamer: Glacier, Juniper, Canary, and Thistle 
The Teeny Tiny challenge at Heart 2 Heart inspired me to
make some inchies. So....what do you do with inchies?
I used them to accent some tags so I can have tags for any occasions.
Play along at Heart 2 Heart and you could become an Addict, a Darling
and/or a Sweetheart. And join the fun at Color My Heart with the Little 
Dreamer color inspirations.
