I usually don't do challenges because, quite frankly, I don't have the time...though I wish I did! Since there's so many wonderful ones out there though which give alot of inspiration, I decided I NEED to make time to do at least one per month. And being as Stampin' For the Weekend Challenge just started yesterday, and being as my SBS Sister, Vanja, is on the design team, I thought I'd give this one a try. The challenge was to use purple and yellow.
What I used:
* Barely Banana and Perfect Plum cardstock (plus a hint of green for some "oomph" and Basic Black for inside the flowers)
* SUs Top Note Die
* Retired SU DSP from "who knows when"
* Yellow Ribbon from stash
* Green Raffia from a gift received (I love to recycle, don't you?)
* Stamps: "Love You" from a Hero Arts set, and the other from a Round Robin box
* Buttons: SU's Fresh Favorites
* Flowers cut using my Cricut
* Crystal Effects, Glitter Gel Pen, Stamping Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Eyelets
Check 'em out girls! I think they're off to a pretty good start! Great candy to boot!

I just had to show off my youngest daughter today as well! She got new glasses this week! Isn't she darling???
Okay, time to enjoy the great outdoors! It's simply wonderful today!
