Dynmaic Duos meets Seize the Sketch

Happy Sunday!  I am shocking myself by actually sitting down and playing a couple of challenges since I missed World Card Making Day.  Today, my daughter and I crafted, unfortunately, I waited so long before getting down to crafting business that she didn't make a full, card.  Kaitlyn did however color a few images that are awesome. Thanks for crafting with me.

So today, as I went searching for some challenges for us to do, stopped by Dynamic Duos to see what their color combo was for this week.  It is a very lovely combination and really not one I would have put together before.  After finding the color, I saw that Seize the Sketch has a new sketch (saw this by checking our my friend Lori's blog) and thought it I could do that.

This is what these two challenges inspired in me.  It started with going out of the box and doing a Christmas card with these colors and well who doesn't love a little bit of bling and texture.

Recipe:
Stamps: Delightful Decorations and Four The Holidays....Stampin Up
Paper: Cajun Craze, Island Indigo and Whisper White
Ink: Island Indigo
Accessories: Dimensionals, embossing folder, paper piercer, pearls, Martha Stewart punch and ornament punch (Stampin Up).

Be sure to hop on over and check out these challenges.  The DT's have some fabby inspiratio for you.

Thanks for stoppin by and sharing my fun card with me :)

A Fall Thank You

Good Morning! We had snow yesterday morning...yeeek! I had to look twice when I saw the white stuff falling from the sky and then still sitting on my BBQ.  On a sports note my daughter had her first 9 volleyball games, our middle son had a blast at Tae-Kwon-Do, our oldest son Volleyball team won their second gold in tournament play.  We have all been getting over this nasty cold/allergies too.  So two of my kids have already missed some school :(  On a crafty note I got to craft with my daughter this weekend and cross stitch with a friend.  So all in all not a bad week.

Over at 4 Crafty Chicks we had an outstanding turnout last week for our bingo challenge and the creations were simply stunning.  I truly was in awe of each creation.  This week we are welcoming two Guest Designers for the Month of October Divya and Bettina.  Please give them a warm welcome! I know we are excited to be working with them this month.

Our talented hostess with the mostess this week is Leanne from Banking on Crafts.  Her Challenge for us is to use Fall.

Challenge #162 - Fall

When I think of Fall I think of a nice cup of Hot Chocolate and sometimes even some Baileys added to it, sitting under a blanket with a good book. Even better than that is being with friends, laughing and crafting :)
