Happy weekend everyone :) I hope you are all having a great start to this wonderful weekend. I have two exciting things happening today.
The first being my debut as a design team member for Dynamic Duos Challenge Blog and I am still walking on air. I have to tell you that at first I wasn't too sure if I could get these two colors to work for me, but after sitting down and laying it out, was like, yep, this is going to work out great (I also had help using the Seize The Birthday sketch from a few weeks back, which I really enjoyed).
I used the Quint-Essential Flower Stamp Set and thought I was going to be able to use the punch that goes with it, but alas, I don't have it, so I used a scalloped edge spellbinder circle to cut them out and layer, topped it off the a button and bakers twine (love that stuff). I really enjoyed the layer strips - it was fun putting those together.
Now, the fun part begins :) You get to create a project using these great colors; we do ask that you use only those two colors shown, but neutrals (skin tones, etc.) are okay to use. If you don't have these exact colors, use something as close to them as you can. I can't wait to see what you're going to show us.
On to the second part of this great weekend, our daughter Elizabeth is graduating from Columbia College today and we are so very proud of her. She is going to be a high school language arts teacher and have to give her props for taking that on. Elizabeth, we are very happy for you and know you are going to go far in the goals you have set for yourself. Love you.
