RAC12 August



A group of us, decided to put together a monthly club where the hostess would send the same supplies to each person & we would be able to see how creative everyone was with the kit.

I got 2 cards made with the supplies that Peggysue sent.  I have enough leftovers to make several other cards...  now I just need to get it done, so I'll be patting myself on the back come December!!!  LOL!!!  Check out the other participants:

Kelli
Lee
Lydia

August hostess, Peggy Sue

FTTC184 Hydrangeas


This week's Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge was to use purple & blue.  My mind immediately went to hydrangeas.  I colored them with BV20 & then went over them with B41.  My light blue cs kind of got lost against the white, so I added a layer of green.

Orange Polka Dot Ribbon


This story is a stamper's version of "What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas"... (the names have been purposefully left out to protect the guilty!!!  bwhahahahaha!!!)

Some of you know that orange is one of my Top 3 least favorite colors, so you may be wondering how on earth I would end up with ribbon of such a color in my possession,  you are nodding your heads, right???!!!    It's what happens when you are in a craft store & the ribbon is 40% off & you aren't shopping by yourself.  When the phrases, "but it's on sale!"  and "it will go with something" are mentioned by your oh, so helpful enabling friends, that you go ahead & pick up a spool of orange & white polka dot ribbon & put it in your cart.  Fast forward a few years... yes, I just typed years, I'm not going to mention how many exactly... we'll just go with years...  *wink*   I'm going through my ribbon storage wondering just how I could have so much ribbon & yet not the right colors. I decided that since I'm participating in a "No Spend August" that it would be a good time to use some of this oh, so lovely ribbon.  That's how it ended up on this card.  I told a few people participating in the challenge with me that it was my goal to use some of the ribbon this week.  So I achieved my goal... but do you know how much ribbon is left on the spool?????  I really think they put more ribbon on this spool than they do of my favorite colors.  They do it on purpose, I'm just sure of it!!!  *grin*

I can't promise when I will pull this out for another card, but I have plenty left.

Thank You Grapes


I haven't made as many cards during this "No Spend August" as I wanted, but this card continues the trend.  I pulled out an old favorite & paired it up with some *gasp* purple cardstock.  It's another goal for the month to use up what I have.  I tend to go with my favorites all the time & then end up with the yucky colors (in my opinion! *wink* ).  This card didn't make a dent in my purple stash, but at least I used some of it!

Stamps: Fruitful Harvest GKD
