It's Regina's turn this week and what a pretty spring card she has created for us.  And we sure need Spring around here and in those areas where they are still experiencing snow.  What's up with That!!  Enough is enough Mother Nature.

 

Just love where Regina added yellow on this one, as the mission was handed down.  Click here to see her full card and creative process.  Please let Regina know you are out there by leaving her a comment.  She'd love to hear from you.

 

See Ya Next Week!

I'm writing this post with a major amount of egg on my face.  I somehow completely missed posting Regina's completed Black and White mission from the week before.  I could not apologize enough to Regina when I found out yesterday.  I must apologize one more time: Regina, I'm so very sorry. 

 

Here is her card in its entirety.

 

Be sure to check out her post on this fabulous creation here. And it's not too late for you to leave her a comment.

My manager is off to have a baby soon.  Not knowing the sex the colors on the card below were chosen to keep it neutral while giving it a sense of Co-ed if you will.  This lady is not a fan of pink so it was definitely not an available choice.

Over 20 people will  be signing this card so it needs to be big.  The base is Whisper White with a layer of Early Espresso.  The designer paper is from a box by CK that I've had kicking around for quite some time.  Enough with the hoarding, time to use it.  The yellow is a long ago retired In Color, Marigold Morning.  The carriage from Buggies and Booties was embossed with Copper.  The French Script background was inked with Early Espresso that was first blotted with a scrap of photocopy paper since I didn't want the background to over shadow the carriage.  The flower trim ribbon was adhered with sticky strip.  This is the first time I've used it and I must say I like it.  

********REGINA'S MISSION********

Your mission this week, should you choose to accept it, is to use Yellow.  Your choice of hue and type of project.  Just use yellow, current or otherwise. 

 

Have a look at Regina's blog here.  She's been a busy girl again this week and has some fabulous ideas for you.

It's Friday once again and it's my turn for Freestyle.  This is a card that was part of set that I made for a friend of mine for her birthday.  The set contained 6 cards with envelopes that I had stamped on.  I was going for the simple yet dramatic effect.  When I started out I had no specific layout/theme in mind except black and white.

 

It's really easy to see what was done here so there's no need to go into great detail. The stamp sets used were Bloomin' with Kindness and French Script.  Why Stampin' Up got rid of this one and came out with En Francais I will never understand.  It doesn't seem like it in this photo but I seem to recall embossing the flower.

 

********REGINA'S MISSION********

 

The mission for this week is Black and White with as many layers as you would like.  The catch, you can not use a flower.  You know there had to be catch in there somewhere.

I haven't shown you any pictures of Frankii for quite sometime.  Here are a few that I took trying out my speed/motion setting.  Quite happy with the result.  Frankii has a new haircut since it was suppose to be Spring around here.  We were hit with almost a foot of snow. (Hey Reg, that's 0.3048 Metre(s) for you)
