Pocket Full Of Sunshine

Anything Goes this week for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Anything? Yes, Anything! We want to see your creations! This week, I played with the Crafty Cutts Slider Box Die and created an imaginary world where the weather is always wacky.  Although lately, that could be just about anywhere!

All of the papers and embellishments came from the Hero Arts Fresh Cut line. loved adding the weather tidbits and transparencies in the tiny space. It's little enough to be tucked in a pocket. Yes, a Pocket Full of Sunshine.

[Chorus]

Take me away (take me away)

A secret place (a secret place)

A sweet escape (a sweet escape)

Take me away (take me away)

Take me away (take me away

To better days (to better days)

Take me away (take me away)

A hiding place (a hiding place)

Now that I've got that song stuck in your head, I want to see what you've been creating.  Link your project to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge  blog for the Anything Goes challenge this week and you could win a $50 voucher to Simon Says Stamp.  We give away one each week to a random participant.

color challenge

This week Paper Smooches is holding a Cool Shades challenge, where inspiration is drawn from colors. I used a couple of their new sets for this card.  I used Leafy Greens and Tri-balation. 

 

 

The color story is inspired by "Carnival".  The colors are Chocolate, Cream, Aqua, Cherry Red. And of course I had to put my own spin on it, so it's a loose interpretation. :) 

 

In case you were wondering, I cut out pieces of the stamped leaf image with my trusty old exacto knife.  I also added some details with a black pen.  The background was made from a Tim Holtz embossing folder and the lacey cut-out was cut with my cricut. 

Yeah...I had fun! :)

 

 

 

  

 

Rose, Eucalyptus, and Slate

I love a challenge! At The Play Date Cafe there is a color challenge using these colors:

I think I was drawn to it because I needed a break from the oranges and browns of fall (even though they are my absolute favorite) and the greens and reds of Christmas that came early this year.  I tried to use Rose, Eucalyptus, and Slate.  The colors are little "bluer" because I take rotten photos. :)
