Another Color Dare & My Nemesis...Pacific Point


Happy Hump Day!  Can you believe that we are already halfway through January?  We have had nothing but snow, snow and more snow over the last week and a half or so and, I'll be honest, I'm tired of it.  I know it *is* winter and I *do* live in Canada and snow *is* part and parcel for winter but, gosh-darn-it-anyways...  :)

I suppose there is a bright side to the snow and cold - it's perfect stay-in-the-house-and-bake-and-craft weather.  Maybe if I keep telling myself that, I'll start to believe it...do you think?  Enough about the weather, though, you came for a challenge and this week's Color Dare is a doozy... Pacific Point, Pink Pirouette, and Regal Rose.  It is very similar to one combo Riley had before Christmas and I struggled with that one too.  I found Julee's new Mojo Monday sketch and its simple layout convinced me to give 'er a whirl...


Stamps: Plain Jane (Verve)  Ink: Pacific Point, Pink Pirouette  Paper: Whisper White, Pacific Point, SU! DSP (Bella Rose, I think...)  Accessories: Sponge dauber, Labels Nine Nestabilities, Pink Pirouette & Regal Rose grosgrain ribbon, halfback pearls (Pretties Kit), Square Lattice embossing folder, paper piercer

As always, thanks for popping by today.  If you don't have an aversion to Pacific Point like I do (or even if you do and are looking for a *real* challenge...), we'd love to see your creations over at the Color Dare blog.  You've got until next Tuesday at midnight to submit your entry.  Have fun!
