Wishes - Cards from Greeting Card Workshop

September has been busy with school starting (for both me and my kids), my daughter starting at a new school, and my son breaking his wrist! Whew! Well, I finally had some time to create! My wonderful upline, Wendy Vineis, had sent me the Wishes Card Confidence book awhile back. What a great resource! It has a multitude of beautiful card designs. I modified the "Greeting Card Workshop," on page 111 to create these cards:

The "Greeting Card Workshop," uses just three sheets of paper plus card bases (one patterned paper and two sheets of coordinating cardstock). You can embellish as much or as little as you like; keep them simple or dress them up! This patterned paper is from the retired paper pack called Sarsaparilla and yes, of course, I have been hoarding it! I thought it would work well for cards which could have a more masculine bent to them. Look for this in an upcoming workshop! I have a lot of sheets of paper floating about which I love but won't necessarily use for scrapbooking. I think this cutting pattern will be a good way to use my hoarded paper and to build up my stash of homemade cards.

Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC92 - Just a Note

My first thought after seeing the colors for the current challenge at The Play Date Cafe was, "Yummy!" The suggested colors are Coral, Petal Pink, and Antique Gold. Interestingly enough, I ended up using some CTMH colors named after desserts: Sorbet and Creme Brulee. Quite yummy!

I think this color combination is just gorgeous and it is one that I don't tend to use it very much so I'm glad it made me think outside of my box.

Supplies used (all CTMH except for ribbon, thread, and nestabilities): (X7131B) Sophia Level 2 paper pack, the patterned paper behind dragon fly is from the retired Life Delights, (D1444) A Little Thanks stamp set, (C1299-retired) Butterfly Kiss-dragonfly image, (Z2114) Cocoa stamp pad, Sorbet cardstock, Creme Brulee cardstock, (Z697) Round Sponge.
