Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #20

Hello my friends! Hope you are enjoying the Christmas season. Time for another beautiful Raspberry Suite Color Challenge...I realized this morning that today was the last day to participate, so here is what I quickly came up with...
I stamped a kraft cardstock base with an outlined image of the mug from Warm Happiness, in brown and rounded the bottom corners.

Rounded the bottom corners of a cream block, stamped stripes (from Background Basics: Retro) in rust and a sentiment (from Shapes by Design) in brown. Attached an aqua polka dot mug and embellished with aqua buttons, strung onto cream twine. Then layered the cream block over some rust colored May Arts satin ribbon.

So, I am finally feeling better from my cold, but now my little boy has got it. Poor boy, I hate it when he is sick and miserable, I always feel so helpless.

Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful day!

I hope to get this problem fixed soon, I feel so lost with out my camera. So please bear with me since I am unable to update you with my latest cards.

Another Moxie Fab Challenge

Hello all!

This time the challenge was to create something that incorporates some kind of household item as the focal point. My first card uses the bike image from PTI Everyday Button Bits... To create the wheels, I punch circle from grey cardstock and then stitched the blue buttons on top of the circles. "Enjoy" was stamped in grey ink onto an orange punched circle and adhered behind the main image and ribbon. The rest of the sentiment "the ride" was stamped in cream ink at the bottom of the card.

The second card uses a coffee cup from PTI Warm Happiness. This is a new color combo to me. I had scraps of Aqua, burgundy, brown, kraft and cream laying out on my work space and thought they looked very pretty and warm together, perfect to pair with Warm Happiness.

Using my new border punch on this one, Upper Crest by Fiskers. I have been looking and looking for this one, dying to get my hand on it. The day I finally found it I almost didn't see it. It was in the wrong spot and behind other punches, I had been very desperate by this time and decided to look through each and every border punch. Good thing I did, I would have never seen it if I had not.

Anyways, onto the card... Stamped the circle and kraft strip with the tiny polka dots from PTI Polka Dot Basics II (I just love those little guys! He,he!) in burgundy and cream inks. The buttons were strung onto the twine and then I wrapped the twine around the card and the circle, held it in place with tape on the back side of the circle.

Boy am I cutting it close on this one, the deadline is at the end of the hour!

Oh, thank you all for your wonderful comments on my Embellish Challenge card. I really had a lot of fun making that one and it really means so much that you all are enjoying it too! I hope you all have a chance to participate. Thanks for visiting today, hope you enjoyed!
