Thanks!

Whenever I need a little extra inspiration, I turn to Operation Write Home sketches.  This is sketch #91.

The Can You CASE It color inspiration was perfect for the SU! Retro Fresh paper that I have been hoarding.

Come play along with us at Words 2 Craft By for our Mardi Gras challenge!!!

Using what I have....

Sometimes, I am overwhelmed by my hoard.  Don't get me wrong, I am SO grateful for my husband who indulges my passion, the Marti gift, and the resources to add as I choose.  I am trying to make myself use what I have, and not hoard the papers I love. 

And I love these SU! Retro Fresh papers!!  Accented with a stash sticker and Antique Gold SU! ribbon (thank you Seongsook!).  The brown has a lot of grey in it, the photo makes it look chocolaty.  I am sharing this with the Mod Squad Friend challenge, and the Color Throwdown #375, green, orange, yellow, and grey.  I hope my brown is close enough!!  Come play along with us at Words 2 CRAFT By for our New Beginnings challenge!!

Colorful Birthday

I absolutely love turquoise and orange together.  Add in a little kraft and a little washi tape, and I am in heaven!

This SU! tape is the first I ever bought, it's from the Retro Fresh line - perfect for the Shopping Our Stash challenge Use Your Oldest Washi Tape.  The brown is from We R Memory Keepers.  I don't usually get it together to enter a single  card into more than one challenge, but this one is an exception.  Simply Create Too's challenge is to make a card using my favorite color combo.  CAS-ual Fridays' challenge is to use turquoise and orange.  LOVE!!!  This one even meets the Addicted to Stamps CAS challenge!!  Yea me!!

There's still a few days left to play along with the Words2ScrapBy May challenge - Say Cheese!
