Time's Fun ~ CC207 & SC217

I combined two of the Splitcoaststampers challenges again today with this darling new little set called Hoppy for You. When I saw the sketch challenge on SCS, I instantly remembered a froggy card that I made last summer using the, since retired, Unfrogettable stamp set. Anyway, I had to mount my new froggy set and get it broken in. Go over to SCS and check out their Color Challenge 207 and Sketch Challenge 217.

a note for you ~ KWerner Color Inspiration #42

It's time again for Kristina's Color Inspiration...Check out this awesome color combination of More Mustard, Really Rust, Kiwi Kiss & Whisper White for KWerner Design Color Inspiration #42!

Jewelry Color Inspiration #23 Submissions

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 Jewelry Color Inspiration Challenge #23 was posted last Sunday and included a jewelry photo along with the link to the website where I found it.

To celebrate Valentine's Day, I picked this necklace called, Passion, from Superhero Designs. This talented designer from California, Andrea Scher, uses vintage glass, vintage lucite, and some contemporary beads from all over the world along with sterling silver. I love how Andrea packages her designs and includes this qoute: "This is your very own superhero necklace...it will protect you from harm...attract people to you and...create magic in your life"
