4 Crafty Chicks #5 & The Color Dare #78 (again!)

Another beautiful fall day in the neighborhood! It's a day before the craziness of influenza starts and I had a chance to do another little card using The Color Dare #78 and 4 Crafty Chicks Challenge #5. The colors are Vanilla, Chocolate Chip and Daffodil Delight. The challenge over at 4 Crafty Chicks is to put a "chick" on the card. Speaking of 4 Crafty Chicks, I was given a Golden Egg Award for my card last week. The girls over at 4 Crafty Chicks are amazingly talented and I feel very honored to have been chosen out of all the entries they received so BIG thanks to the the 4 Crafty Chicks team. I was thinking this card could be used as a sweet little wedding card. Those little chickies are just so cute! The stamp set is called Happy Together and the DSP is from a retired hostess lvl 3 set from last year's SU catalogue. Another card down for my No paper/product buying challenge! Hope you get a chance to enjoy the gorgeous weather we're having (in Alberta anyways)! 

Happy World Card Making Day & CD 78

What a gorgeous fall weekend! It's been so busy lately and the next 2 weeks are only going to be nothing short of CRAZY!!! It's influenza season and the next 2 weeks are the busiest out of the entire year for public health. I'm glad to have some time to craft today. Tomorrow I'll be going to the Bridal Expo with my best friend, Liz, to do some scoping out for her wedding next year. Onto the card! If you didn't know, today is actually World card Making Day 2010! I wanted to make a quick and simple card for my friend's birthday yesterday and stumbled onto The Color Dare's color challenge. The colors are Vanilla, Chocolate Chip and Daffodil Delight. I cased this card from Maile. I love the simplicity of it. 

The stamp sets are Watercolor Trio and a retired set called Wonderful Words. Another notch on the No paper/product buying challenge. Hope you get a chance to make a card today for World Cardmaking Day! 

The Sweetest Thing 68 & The Color Dare 66

Crushed Curry Bashful Blue Soft Suede Old Olive

So here's another combo card. Boy I am not too fast when I try to watch tv and craft at the same time. I was also doing random things on the computer like sending out another email for Relay for Life. If you are interested in supporting me on this 12 hour relay to help raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society, please click to this post. My card tonight combines Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge #68 and The Color Dare #66. The hard part for me was finding an image to go on the white card stock and also cutting all the rectangles to fit properly. If you haven't noticed (and Arlie I know you did!!!) there's way too much space between the top two rectangles. I noticed it after I glued it down and it is way too late to fix it. Hope everyone had a great hump day!
