Playing with Color 117~A day late

Hello!  Thanks for stopping by.  I am a day late with my Playing with Colors Challenge and I am sorry about that.  We did not have a/c for 3 days at our house and 2 of the days were so hot and humid that I could barely stand to be in the house let alone sit at my table and work.  If I would have pointed the fan at me I would have had papers flying everywhere.  Anyway...the a/c is back on now and I can be sitting at my craft table working.

I made this card for a couple challenges today.  First I play along with Chat and Jean for the Playing with Color challenge (so make sure you head over to their blogs and check out their fabulous cards).   For this weeks colors we were to use Lucky Limeaid, Calypso Coral, Basic Gray and White.  Well...imagine my horror (okay maybe not horror...maybe surprise) when I sat down to work on my card and I was completely out of Basic Gray.  Sad part is I don't even remember using it.  Oh, well.  So I tried to play along the best I could.  I just used Kraft instead of Basic Gray.  Just pretend the Kraft is Gray...hehehe.   The sketch is from this weeks challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches which you can find HERE.  I love working with their sketches and try to play along as often as I can.  

Hope you all have a great day!

Card Recipe:

Paper: Kraft, , Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeaid, In-Colors DSP

Playing with Color 117

Hello all.  Hope you are all doing well.  I am still not feeling great.  I am not necessarily sick...just my back and arm still.  Then yesterday my head started hurting a bit..and today woke up with a pounding sinus headache...and I am still suffering tonight.  This is where I have been all day yesterday and today...

This picture is thanks to my little girl.  She felt the need to take my picture yesterday while I was snoozing on the couch...he only hour my head didn't hurt and feel like it was going to explode. I finally broke down tonight and took some meds.  I am really hoping I will be able to sleep tonight.  

Even though I didn't feel to well I did decide to sit down and make a card.  I used this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.  This weeks sketch was #49.  I normally don't use a lot of circles on my cards and normally change it  up when I see a sketch has circles.  But...that being said, with this raging headache...I pretty much just decided to stick with the sketch and really not change anything up.  I did however make a square card when normally I make a regular 4 1/2 x 5 1/4 card.  I made this card 4 1/2 x 4 1/2.    I am also joining CHAT and Jean for the weekly challenge that they play called Playing with Color.  The colors for this week's  Playing with Color Challenge were Midnight Muse, Mustard, Crumb Cake and Neutral.

*I will come back later and add the Recipe.  But now...I am off to bed. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great rest of the night. 

Birthday Wishes

Hope you all had a fabulous day!  We have had a good couple of days here. This is our last week of summer vacation.  Hard to believe school starts next Tuesday.  The summer definitely went by fast.  It was really fun not having to work and spending the summer with the girls.  We did lots of things. Each week we did 

something different...bowling, swimming, movies, twice we even took a week and headed up to Pennsylvania to see family.  Yesterday I took the kids to the movie Diary of a Wimpy Kid.  We all enjoyed it.  It was a fun day out and bonus...movie theater pop corn.  Pretty sad that it was only 2 of 14 movies at the theater we could see.  Two movies.  Why?  Because 12 out of the 14 movies were rate R.  We don't go to the movies a lot so I guess I just didn't realize how many are out there that are not age appropriate for young kids. 

Okay now on to me time.  I decided that after a fun filled week of movies, playing pop out connect four, watching disney channel and all that fun stuff it was me time to sit down at my craft table and make some cards.  I realize the other day that I am out of birthday cards that I keep on hand.  I try to keep a few around for last minute and when I went to get one, yep you guessed it they were gone.  So today's card is a birthday card.  My card today is using this weeks sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.  I found their sketch blog a few weeks ago and really like the sketches I have seen so I try to play along every so often.  I have played along a few times and well, realized that their new sketch came out today so I might as well play along.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
