PPC#47

What a great day!  I was able to play in the snow w/ my son and the neighbor.  Made a pretty good taco soup in the crock pot.  Changed my blog design a tad bit and scrapbooked a little bit.

Here is my take on the challenge at PPC this week.  Haven't done any challenges in a while, this is one of my favorite color challenges.  Glad to be back.  The cool colors above is what I had to work with.  It was harder then I thought it would be. 

A bit different I'd say

Good day everyone!

I'm very excited this morning just completed a challenge and it actually is for 2 challenge sites. Both challenges had me doing something a bit different then I'm used to. That is why I love doing challenges, one had me doing a layout that I'm not used to doing, not my usual style and the other had me using 4 colors that I wouldn't normally think to put together. So with that said here is my creation:


The boy had the most perfect milk mustache, I couldn't believe he left it there until I got my camera.


The LO is from a new blog that I came across early last week. I loved that it was a total scraplift challenge blog. Too much fun, right? You need to visit XOXO today! Their sponsor this month for the July challenge is also the person that I scraplifted from #14 by Jessica Stott/Lucky Girl Crafts.

I have been away from doing challenges for the past couple of months and I finished one for SPCC 2 days ago and had one more color challenge to do this weekend from the girls over at PPC. The colors posed to be a great challenge to me, but I did complete and I actually like this page all around.

Thanks for making me think outside my usual box XOXO & PPC!
Have a super wonderful weekend!

Sweet

Good morning bloggers!

I decided late last night to do a challenge. I'm going way beyond what I would have done in the past. Thanks to blogging and getting inspiration from others. The color combo at PPC this week was perfect for my nieces "Sweet 16". There's still time you should go over to their site and get in on the challenge.

Btw....I figured out how to make my own banner. I wanted to use a photo that I had taken, came across this pic that I had taken a few years ago at Heritage Park in Taylor. I just love the blooms on this tree! Still learning stuff, slowly, but learning at least. Here's a question someone might be able to help me with. I type out the whole website and want to know how do I do it where it says click here and it'll take you directly to the place? Or like I can write the blog site to visit by using the name and you can click on it to be directed there? I hope I am explaining this right. If you know please share, that would be the best.

Have a fabulous weekend all!

One Cool Cat!

Yo! How are you? Good here, in a great mood this morning. So I've learned bits and pieces to this blogging. Still some things I'm clueless about, but I'm gettin' there. I really am enjoying doing the challenges and keep thinking I don't want to be involved in too many. Each week however I find another one that I like, its cool it keeps me doing what I love and I'm finding that I am making more cards now, like the one below for the color challenge over at http://www.ppc-challenges.blogspot.com/
The white & black circles are actually glitter cardstock. I wish you

could see just how cute the sparkles are, glitz always makes things better. I need to figure out a place with good light to take my photo's. The pic's never really look as they do in person.

Anyways, I had lots of fun w/ this color combo and look forward to next weeks challenge, because yay.....she decided to do them weekly instead of bi-weekly. Love it! Have a good day everyone!

Bright sunny days!

Good Morning everyone!

Bright sunny days here in Michigan, we needed it. We've already had like 3 days of sunshine. The weather reports for 7 more days of sun and in the 40's all week. Love it! Let's hope its true. I woke up super early this morning and was able to make a card for a friend. She contacted me last week through text and as it would have been great to talk with her, texting is what I got. So I made a card for her this morning, letting her know that its time to go have lunch. Plus, I was able to use the card for challenges this week. While at home making the card I had ran out of tape runner, really how could I let this happen, no refills on hand. Then my ribbon adhesive maker ran out. Really? So I do complete the card and then I look at the card on the way to work in this super sun shiny day and the ribbon is more of green then baby blue. Yea so I need some better lighting at home. lol....well I have to get busy, I'll be posting soon! Hope your having
BRIGHT SUNNY DAYS TOO!


So I am bummed that the ribbon is slightly off color, even more bummed that in the photo it really looks off. I still like the card though, thanks for the challenges at over at PPC-CC #2 & Carols Sketch Fun #21. Their links to their blogs are:
