Colour Me...! 50 Looks Good with Freshly Made Sketches 166

It's late here, or early, depending on how you look at it,  so I'm going to make this a rather short post.  I seem to be good at that lately, don't I?  Today I played along with two challenges, Colour Me...! and Freshly Made Sketches.  I think they look good together.  I also wanted to let you know that tonight at 8 p.m. Central Time, the Wacky Watercolor Blog Hop starts.  I'm know you're going to want to see all the great projects, so be sure to make a note to come see what we have in store for you.

It's going to be a fast and furious post for you today but I wanted to share this card with your before I start getting ready for the Stampin' Up!® Catalog Kickoff Event tonight.  I combined two challenges today.  The sketch from Fab Friday and the colors from Colour Me...! 

Also, I'm sharing the earrings I made to wear tonight.  They are made using the All Is Calm Snowflake Embellishments found in the Holiday Catalog.  I colored some Rhinestone Basic Jewels and colored them red.  My outfit is black and red so they will be perfect!

Okay, time to show you the card and earrings.  I've got to run or I'm not going to be ready and I do so hate being late!  I'm always the one who is a half an hour early.  :-)

Colour Me...! Creative Challenge 48 and Freshly Made Sketches 164

The Reed family had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I was so pleased to have my three sons all together this year.  Family fun, food, and football... it doesn't get any better than that!  My son, Matthew, and his wife, Michelle, hosted this year.  He makes a delicious champagne turkey.  There is never much left when we get done with it.  I'm still "stuffed" from yesterday!

Today I was back in the craft studio pairing up challenges for my card.  This one uses the colors from the Colour Me...! Creative Challenge and the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.  Along with the new Banner Blessings Stamp Set, they all made for a rather pretty card.  I think it will be perfect to send to Matthew and Michelle for bringing us all together for Thanksgiving.

Oh my gosh!  There is nothing like waiting until the last minute to get a card made and posted to enter in a challenge.  No, I am not a procrastinator.  I just added to much to my plate and did time ever get away from me!  So, here is my card for the current Colour Me...! Creative Challenge using the colors of Soft Suede, Early Espresso and Cajun Craze.  I chose Whisper White a..s my Neutral.  I needed a birthday card so the birthday sentiment is stamped on the inside.
