Sudsol Challenges

Wow, it must have been a month since I have participated in one of Sudsol's challenges. The design was for a square card...which I don't usually make. So this was good for me. I kept the card small-4"x4"- and limited the layers. The images and verse are all from the Season of Simple Grace set. The "texture" on the kiwi kiss card base is made with the sanded background (ink-kiwi kiss). The designer paper is from Holiday Treasures - one of my favorites. Now, my challenge is to create other things - decorations, favors, cards, etc-with this set and with the designer paper. And, I need to do this quickly in time for my upcoming open house. I have already been working on the other important samples for this event...truffles and new kinds of chocolates! As a matter of fact, I just finished one of those new creations...it's good, but I just don't know what to name it yet.
What...you want to know what it is! You'll just have to check back in a few days. Perhaps I'll take some pictures.

Happy Birthday Bree

Tomorrow is Bree's birthday...she'll be 3! It's been a busy week in the Snyder family. 2 anniversaries and 1 birthday. Bree will be having a "jungle" theme birthday where else but at Jungle Rapids! Jill and I made her invitations. We used the Zoofari stamp set. There was a lot of punching and coloring going on. I don't have any "vine" stamps so we used a stamp from the Baroque Motifs to make them. We really liked colors from the Bold & Bright family, but Jill decided on these softer colors...they look a bit more like a little girl's colors -regal Rose, mellow moss, brocade blue, and so saffron.









This morning there was another Chat & Challenge on Sudsol, so I used the pattern to make Bree's birthday card. I used the new in color - kiwi kiss and was supposed to use tangerine tango...but I picked up another similar color -pumpkin pie. I was in a hurry...but I guess it works.





Ever since I saw a tutorial on spring cards, I have wanted to make one. This seemed like the perfect opportunity. The "spring" is a vine with monkeys hanging from them. I hope Bree enjoys her card tomorrow. Now I just need to get it in today's mail.
