CTD 176 Happy Birthday

Welcome to this weeks Color Throwdown 176. This is my last week with the CTD team and I want to say thank you for having me as a guest this month. The colors have been fun! I hope you get to play along with us this week. Check out the Blog for all the CTD Design Teams creations.

Crumb cake is not a color I have, however I tried to go with the closest color based on the photo. My balloon is not dirty I promise, it has some gel pen for sparkle on it. Yet it looks like dirt. gggrrr... So frustrating sometimes I tell ya. Such a fun image, this is from Sparkle Creations called Birthday Josh. Adorable boy image and makes for easy cards. The birthday sentiment I punched out on some Spellbinders shapes for fun. Thanks for stopping by.

CTD175 Be Mine

Welcome to the Color Throwdown challenge 175 today. This weeks colors are brought to us by Danielle and a very relaxing photo if I do say so myself. I almost went with an herbs and oils creation as these colors speak italian to me. However this little guy just arrived in the mail so I went with it. He is so super Cute! He is from Sparkle Creations called Valentine Oliver and I adore his hat. This kraft is a color I don't have so I found the closest thing in my papers. Added a few scallops to the edges and a circle sentiment tag that says Be Mine. Now how cute is that!!

Color Throwdown 174 Sentiment

Happy Wednesday! The Color Throwdown colors today are brought to us by Broni and they are Soft Suede, River Rock, Daffodil Delight, Soft Sky. Don't they seem very soothing and calming? I thought they did and went with a sentiment focus for my creation. This is using Flourishes New set called Heart Lines. I used a few Spellbinders shapes and some sheer ribbon for the extra softness. This is an easy peasy creation today.
Hope you get to play along with us this week! Be sure to check out the creations from the Color Throwdown team! Have a great day!

Color Throwdown Challenge 173

Happy Wednesday! I am excited to announce that I am the Guest Designer for the Color Throwdown team for the month of January. Yea! Looking forward to a fun month of colors and creations with you. Today is color throwdown #173. They screamed elegant Christmas card to me so here you go.

I am loving the Poinsettia and Boxwood stamp lately if you hadn't noticed. ha ha Doesn't it just look gorgeous all layered and sparkly? I really do like it all layered up. How about that, another Christmas card done for 2012. Now you can't beat that! My sentiment is stamped out on Spellbinders Fancy Tags then popped up on dimensionals. The paper is from Basic Grey's Little Black Dress pack that I just got right before Christmas. This paper pack is going to be my new favorite. Be sure to stop in at the CTD blog and see all the girls creations and hope you get a chance to play along with us! Have a great day!
