CCMC Saturday Blog Hop: Delightful Dijon

Hello everyone! It's time for another Saturday blog hop with the Create with Connie and Mary designers! This week we are featuring projects made using Delightful Dijon as the main color. I am your stop after the fabulous Debbie Henderson!

Delightful Dijon... This is a color I just haven't used much at all. I don't hate it but it hasn't been a color that I grab. So to make something that uses this color as the main focus was a little more difficult than I thought. I kept thinking of sunflowers (my favorite flower) and thought that this color would be perfect! So here's what I came up with!

• Card base is Whisper White
• Adhere a piece of Delightful Dijon Color Me Irresistible designer paper to the card base
• Stamp the greeting from the Something to Say stamp set onto a panel of Whisper White using Delightful Dijon ink then adhere the panel to a piece of Soft Suede card stock
• Tie a piece of Delightful Dijon dotted lace trim around the panel and adhere to card with dimenionals
• On a piece of Whisper White, stamp the solid flower image from the Beautiful Bunch stamp set using Delightful Dijon and stamping off once before stamping onto the card stock
• Use the Stamp-a-ma-jig to help align the outline flower image on top of the solid image and stamp using Delightful Dijon at full strength
• Punch the flower out using the Fun Flower punch
• Adhere flower to card with dimensionals
• Add several Soft Suede candy dots to flower center

Pretty simple card! Time to send you on to see what the super creative Connie Babbert has created! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Hello Beautiful Bunch

Good morning everyone! I'm so glad it's Friday!! I am ready for a stamping weekend! I've got a lot to do! I ended up getting sick during the night Wednesday so I stayed home from school yesterday. Not a great way to start off the year. I am willing myself to go this morning. I feel a lot better but I am still very tired. Thankfully I don't have a lot of kiddos yet. Nick has had soccer tryouts all week and they will do some scrimmages this weekend. He is going to be goalie half time and field the other half for JV! I'm so excited for him!!

Today's card was another one we did at stamp club this month. I just love these colors together!!

Strawberry Bunch

Good morning, Friends! Well, last Friday I applied for a job with a local elementary school. That same day I got an email to select a time for my interview on Monday. I picked a time and went for the interview on Monday. On Wednesday I got a call that I had been selected for the position and need to fill out paperwork. So I spent the afternoon on Wednesday doing that. Today is my first day! Wooho! We just have meetings today but I am also going to see my room and get keys and meet the staff. School starts on Monday! Crazy! It's a part time position right now but I am more than thrilled! I am also really nervous - lol! But I have some great friends that are really encouraging me and so I feel ready! My son is even really excited for me. He asked me last night what I was going to wear. That cracked me up!! He is looking out for me!

Today's card started with a sketch in mind but ended up like this. And I like it! The colors just make me so happy! The colors came from the All Abloom designer paper. 

• Card base is Whisper White
• Adhere a piece of All Abloom designer paper to a piece of Mossy Meadow card stock
• Stamp the greeting from Hi There in Mossy Meadow and adhere panel to card base with dimensionals
• Adhere a strip of Lost Lagoon card stock
• Stamp the flower image from Beautiful Bunch onto Strawberry Slush card stock and onto Whisper White using Strawberry Slush ink and punch both out with the Fun Flower punch
• Adhere both flowers together using dimensionals and then adhere to card with glue dots (I put the dimensionals and glue dots on the middle part of my flowers so I could curl the petals up)
• Stamp the flower image again onto Whisper White using Daffodil Delight ink and cut out the flower center then adhere to flowers on card
• Add three Blushing Bride candy dots to card

Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Color Throwdown 302

Good morning everyone! I hope your week is off to a great start! I can't believe that this is the last week of July! School starts Monday and I need to get myself ready to start waking up early to get my son ready for school! My interview yesterday went great! They even contacted my references afterwards! Since the job is working in a school they want to get someone for the first day so I should be hearing from them in the next couple of days. We will see!! And it finally rained last night! Ahhh! Blessed rain! Looks like it could do more today, too.

Today's card was inspired by the colors at Color Throwdown. Such pretty bright colors! I am too late to enter their challenge but I just had to use them anyway!
