Blogger’s challenge Friday…….Get out your sunglasses

June 12th, 2008

Because the future is BRIGHT!!!!! And so is this card;

congrats

The challenge this week is a color combo; pink, turquoise and GREEN GALORE!!!!!! I have been stressing about this color combo ALL WEEK! This is just so not my normal style and I don’t think it ever will be. I had to go to the SU website and look at the color before I could pick it out of my bright CS pack. I don’t have the ink, the marker….nothing just a few sheets that I had thought about recycling.

This card also fits into the MFT sketch challenge for this week. And speaking of My favorite things…………..

A girl remembers all her firsts: your first kiss, your first best friend, and the first time you talk to one of your stamping idols. I had the EXTREME pleasure of talking to Kim, THE Kim from MFT….she called me, on my phone, AT MY HOUSE!!! And it didn’t matter what she had asked of me I would have done it. Fortunately she asked me to do something legal and something that I wanted to do, she asked me to be on her new special assignment design team! Seriously, there are only a few people that Sean remembers who I’m talking about just by their first name and he knows who Kim is, there is only 1 Kim in our vocabulary.

Now I kind of think of this like CSI and all the other CSI shows: same premise, new actors, new location with some familiar faces showing up. You can find the links to the blogs and galleries of the other talented ladies on Kim’s blog and I will be linking them here soon.

So I hope you will enjoy the ride with me as I create some new projects for Kim and MFT. And thanks for letting me share my excitement and tooting my horn a little about all my good news this week.

Details:

Stamps: Icing on the cake, Essential Sentiments - My favorite things
Ink: white, turquoise, black, copics
CS: turquoise, green galore, PTI white, Prima ‘Caliope’ collection from Jacksonbelle
Accessories: nesties, CB folder, ribbon from stash, white gel pen, black spica, Prima flower from Jacksonbelle, WW punch

    It’s not too bright at all Elizebeth! I love it! Especially like the texture and layers.

  18. Amy Caraluzzi on June 13, 2008 4:13 pm

    I do adore! You’re so silly for thinking this is anything but wonderful!

  19. Ida on June 13, 2008 5:11 pm

    This is nice! - Wow I can’t believe you don’t use Green Galore much…It’s a favorite of mine. Guess that’s what makes us all unique. Love the way you used the stripes of the DP coupled with the circles on the embossed portion. Great contrast.

  20. Tangii on June 13, 2008 6:06 pm

    I love the card! GReen Galore and ALL! Congrats too on your big news! I love hearing about these things! I am also very impressed that you didn’t pass out on the phone, as I would have done :)

    Happy Friday!
