365 Cards, April 8 http://365cards.blogspot.com

Thank goodness it's hump day! It's been a long week at work and am looking forward to the Easter weekend (well, after I get off work on Saturday).

The colors for the Wacky Color Wednesday challenge are orange, purple and green. I'm not sure if you can tell from the photo, but the orange and green cardstock are embossed - I used the Stampin' Up! Backgrounds I texturz plates (page 203 of the current Idea Book and Catalog).

365 Cards, April 7 http://365cards.blogspot.com

Today's card is modeled after a quilt. For this challenge, I used Bella Birds DSP by Stampin' Up! I was doing well until I started talking on the phone and became a bit distracted (as you can see by the gap between the middle and right columns.) I tried to minimize the gap by covering it with the sentiment. I think it still looks pretty good!

The challenge for April 6 asked us to use chipboard. Honestly, I never used chipboard and therefore, didn't have any. I was cruising the aisles at my local JoAnn's and found a pack of cute flowers. I have never seen a teal flower, so I created my own. Voila!

This card represents the sunny days we've had these last two days here in Washington. I think it's supposed to get gloomy again by the end of the week. Poop!

365 Cards, April 5 http://365cards.blogspot.com

I was creating a birthday card for a friend and thought I should incorporate today's challenge. I had this Spring Mat Paper Pack for a while now and figured now was a good time to experiment with it. All the paper came from the same pack, but the bottom two layers, as well as the stamp, are from Stampin' Up! I know it's pretty simple, but I think the colors represent what I'm wishing for: warm weather!

365 Cards, April 4 http://365cards.blogspot.com

Today's challenge was inspired by the picture below. Appropriate for the new season!


Here's my take on the challenge.


365 Cards, April 3 http://365cards.blogspot.com

The challenge for this day was to use an oval as the dominating shape. Since Easter's around the corner, I thought it would be appropriate to create an Easter card. I used the 'Wagon Full of Fun' stamp set by Stampin' Up!

365 Cards, April 2 http://365cards.blogspot.com

Today's 365 Cards challenge dealt with space and leaving lots of it. A contrast to what I'm used to since I tend to try to fill up the cardfront. Below is my entry for today. I apologize that the shot is a bit blurry - need to charge my camera battery. Hope your evening is drier than mine (it's raining, it's pouring.)
