EXCITING Friday!

OMG, OMG, OMG!!! I am soooo excited! I finally got some time to craft and since I hadn't checked out this week's Color Throwdown, I clicked on over to find this week's color challenge (more on that in a minute). I saw the colors and scrolled down some more to see who the Featured Stamper from last week's challenge was (and it was a beautiful card from Debi's Crazy Life), scrolled down a bit more to see that MY PIC, Lori, received one of 3 Honorable mentions for this card, and that YOURS TRULY won some absolutely fantabulous Magnolia Stamps!!! Could the day get any better??? Oh yeah...CRAFTING!!!

This week's Color Throwdown was this and I combined it with the Viva la Verve Sketch over at Splitcoast:


I HAD to use some of my new Verve stamps so this is what I came up with:


Recipe - Stamps: Thankful Accents, Grateful Heart Plain Jane (Verve) Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, Riding Hood Red, Pretty in Pink Paper: Riding Hood Red, Wild Wasabi, Pretty in Pink, Soft Sky, Whisper White, SU! DP Accessories: Nestabilities, ticket corner punch, corner rounder punch, paper piercer, adhesive pearls, clear embossing powder, argyle embossing folder (Cuttlebug), Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon, button, red metalllic cord, slot punch

I've got supper in the oven so I hope to have time to do one more card tonight. Thanks for stopping by - only 14 more sleeps! Are you done your shopping???
