The other night I finally decided to work on a color challenge that my upline had given us. The colors used were Island Indigo (126986) Lucky Limeade (126984) and Calypso Coral (126983) I thought the colors were perfect to use in the new bundle you can get. Sent with Love (132851) The only color that was not part of the Sent with Love makeup was the Lucky Limeade. What I found humorous about all of this is I belong to a group of ladies who scrapbook. We meet once a month. When I was working on this last night at our get together I had lots of help! Maybe its because I am the baby in this particular ‘family’ of ladies. I had a lot of fun talking with them and putting the card together per their guidance. Hope you find inspiration in this and thank you for looking!

I finally was able to create last night after being sick. I was in denial that  I had a cold or something but my energy level and body reminded me I needed to slow down so last week was spent watching tv or just browsing the internet for inspiration. Anyways, as you may have noticed in my last order I placed with Stampin’ Up! I was able to get the Feeling Sentimental stamp set from SAB. I originally got the set because I am a big Doctor Who fan and the phone booth reminded me of the Tardis. But the other stamps are growing on me.  Here’s the supplies for how I made the cards.

I worked on these two cards tonight. I wanted to do the Whole Latte Love in different colors and try to make it more masculine. I am not sure if I have succeeded. I also have had the Tea Shoppe set for some time and just haven’t used it tonight. Here are the recipes! Tea Shoppe Stamp- Tea Shoppe Cardstock-Wisteria Wonder, Primrose Petals, Cherry Cobbler Ink-Wisteria Wonder, SU Markers-Basic Black, Gumball Green, Primrose Petals Accessories-Doily, Label Punch Whole Latte Love Revisited Stamp-Patterned Occasions Cardstock-Pacific Point, Rich Razzelberry, Daffodil Delight Ink-SU Markers-Rich Razzelberry, Pacific Point Accessories-Circle Punch 1 3/4, Scallop Punch 2 3/8 Big Shot-Square Lattice Folder I also wanted to mention that I used the Color Coach on both cards. I love this coach because I don’t have to worry about what kind of colors I want to use. *For my Tea Shoppe card this is where I got my inspiration. http://jkcards.wordpress.com/2013/02/04/splitcoast-creative-crew...
