Hope for Tomorrow ~ Triple Play

Woohoo! 2 Sketches 4 You picked this card as The Card of the Week:) Thanks so much, 2S4Y!







Whew...three challenges in one! It took me most of the afternoon to plan and complete (with a few interruptions for my three kiddos), but here it is. I found a new color challenge, The Color Dare #10 using Cameo Coral, Soft Suede & Bashful Blue. The Ways to Use It Challenge #251 over at Splitcoaststampers motivated me to dust off the Sense of Time stamp set and all was encorporated in Laura's Sketch #42 over at 2 Sketches 4 You. This was a fun card to make and I hope you all like it:)

Click back to the JCI46 posting to see all of the fabulous project submissions. Thanks to all of my JCI participants!

How cool are these earrings!...Shells with Clock Hands & Red Stone from Leighanna Light...Thingmaker. These gorgeous one of a kind earrings were made with vintage clock hands and 100 year-old shells from Papua, New Guinea that were once used as currency.







The colors for this week's inspiration piece are Not Quite Navy, Ruby Red, Creamy Caramel & Very Vanilla...(or a close match will do:) Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch #27 was the perfect inspiration I needed to use my new Sense of Time stamp set. The clock hands on the earrings were another inspiration to use this timeless set:)
