Content-to-be-a-bella!

Today, was just one of those days, you know where you just feel blah...:(. Last night I told my friend Lori that I would make a card today, so I thought I should do something productive (LOL). Yesterday, I check out this challenge at The Play Date Cafe...low and behold it was a color challenge. How can you not love these colors. Thank you Julie Ranae for inviting me to come play. I just hope I did some justice to these wonderful colors. To go with these colors, I figured I needed a sketch challenge so I set out looking for one, guess what I found Card Patterns a weekly sketch challenge, they had this cute little sketch, that I knew was just perfect. Thank goodness Lori gave me the idea of what kind of stamp I should try to ink up today. Thanks girlie. I am not feeling so tired or blah anymore...I just love the crafting world out there who are able to inspire me out of a mood.


Here is what I came up with. Sorry if the picture is too close, I was having problems working my camera today and I just noticed it is tilted...LOL...the struggles of crafting...hee hee. The card is 5 1/2 x 51/2. This card I will be giving to my friend Helen's daughter, she turned 16. I hope she will like it.

The Recipe:
Stamp: Content to be a bell (Bella Stamps)
Paper: Basic Black, Bravo Burgandy, Temping Turquoise, Whisper White
Ink: Black
Accessories: Marker (SU), pearls, black brads, D'vine Swirl and Swiss Dots (Cuttlebug), Martha Stewart Punch, Paper Piercer, White and Black Ribbon, dimensionals
I guess I should go my son Robin is waiting for me to make him some chocolate chip waffles. Comments are always welcome, please let me know if there is anything you think I should change on the card or if you just like it or if you just want to say hi. Thanks for stopping bye and I hope you have a super night.


Til next time-think of someone you love and smile.

    Hi their! I was wondering if anyone from either Card Patterns or The Play Date Cafe can help me put the badges on my side bar properly. It is linked as a picture now, because I was unable to copy and paste as a gadget...guess I don't know what I am doing doing...LOL. The picture is great but no one can link to either site except under my Challenge Blog area. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
