Color Throwdown #246, The Paper Players #150



My card today is for two challenges.  Click on over to the Color Throwdown blog to see their awesome colour challenge #246, and then check out The Paper Players and their Bring on the Bling challenge #150.  


                         

 Honestly, I really find it a challenge to do two challenges at once.  I get sort of involved with the one and then the other isn't really working out, I forget something, or the whole card just isn't turning into what I have pictured in my head.  It's sort of stressful actually!  But with this card, I didn't have that at all!  At first the colours were giving me fits and I felt like scrapping the whole card, but suddenly I just seemed to pull it all together.  Then I looked at it and I loved it, but it still seemed to need just a little... you know.... something.  Pearls!  And then I remembered this challenge!  Couldn't have been more perfect really!  So that was that... and I love when that happens... and this card is just so gorgeous, I am entirely pleased with the way it all came together.

Here's the finished product, which I will give to a very special lady whose birthday is on Friday.  I hope she likes it.


Thanks for taking the time to look, and let me know what you think about my card.  Have a great day!

One Sheet Mini Book

Today I have a little mini book I've made.  The finished size is a little bigger than 3x3.  The directions to make this can be found on Dawn Griffith's blog here.  She has a short video explaining how it's done.  It's pretty easy.... and so pretty!

I changed up the colours and a few other little details.  This is mostly SU! product, but the ribbon is non-SU! and the punch is from EK Success, a 3" scallop circle punch.



It's such a neat little book for just about anything and now that I am seeing it again I think I will make a few more!
