You Mean Everything To Me

The Color Throwdown #50 includes Real Red, Tempting Turquoise & Kiwi Kiss this week. These colors are so lovely together...so I decided to pair them up with the Sketch Challenge #236 over at Splitcoaststampers. The sketches at SCS are so great because they include measurements of each panel/image:)

Jewelry Color Inspiration #32

Anyone who knows me also knows that have an obsession for stamping and for JEWELRY! I enjoy participating in other stamping challenges and want to share the fun by offering my own weekly Jewelry Color Inspiration challenge. The challenge will be posted each Sunday and will include a jewelry photo along with the link to the website where I found it.

If you want to play along, simply make a paper project (card, scrapbook page, or 3D item) that includes the colors indicated with the jewelry piece. (If you don't have the exact colors, just use ones that are similar:) Then, submit your creation to me by Saturday, April 18th at 11:59 P.M. using the Mr. Linky box at the end of this posting. You may also wish to post your photo at Splitcoaststampers.com using the keyword JCI.

Those of you who participate in the challenge will receive recognition the following Sunday...so what are you waiting for...join the fun! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

I found these handpainted plexiglass/sterling silver earrings called Flower Child at Wild Woman Jewelry Etsy shop. I love the bright and whimsical look of these dangling darlings!





I finally got a chance to squeeze in some stamping tonight! Sometime between co-hosting a wedding shower after school, having a quick Subway meal with the family, taking Ben to baseball practice, dropping Noah off at his Scouts meeting, picking up Ben from practice, getting Ben & Hannah ready for bed (Greg brought Noah home)...I was able to make my Jewelry Color Inspiration #32 card to share with you. If you don't like bright color, you won't like my card...but, I love this bold and bright color scheme:)
