Hope you are all having a fabulous weekend...so far I am, I spent the afternoon in San Mateo at a jazz festive with my husband, the weather was just beautiful and a bit too hot to sit out in the sun all day, so we only stayed a few hours. I was able to work a little on my tan too, LOL! Once home I decided to make a couple of cards for 3 different challenges. My first card is for this week's ColourQ #191 and CASE Study #143, wonderful colors and fabulous inspiration card. You still have time to play along too!
My second card is for this week's Color Throwdown #244, I have never played along with these talented ladies before, so fun.
My last project for my post is to share my brand new ribbon/button rack that my sweet hubby made for me...I was so excited to have this new addition for my craft room and have so many of my supplies at my finger tips. Dwight made one for my sweet friend Joyce last year as a birthday gift and I am been so excited to finally have one of my very own. It did not take too long to fill it up either. I was sure I had enough ribbon to fill several of the shelves but that was not the case, looks like I will need to do a bit of shopping now! Thank you so much for taking time to stop by to peek at my cards today...have a wonderful rest of your weekend!

Kim--you made such many cute cards. I absolutely love your first card--and am pinning it. I am always on the lookout for cute uses for those LF eyeglasses. And, that jar with the sequins--ever so cute, and I'm pinning that one too. And, I think you know what I think of your fabulous ribbon rack.
ReplyDeleteAdorable cards!!
ReplyDeleteLove that first one with the eyeglasses and that fabby sentiment!
And what a great idea to use sequins...
love them falling out of the jar!
And YAY for the ribbon rack...
I love mine and have both maxed out...
I think I may have too much ribbon?
Nah...
that could never happen! :)
Cute cute cards Kim. I love those glasses and they made such a perfect card for both colourQ and CASE Study! Your colour throwdown with all the yummy sequins is so sweet, what a great thank you card. Now the ribbon rack, tell Dwight he is free to make one for me too and that will need to come deliver it to me personally. ;) It is amazing, he is so talented.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards for those challenges Kim! I especially love those glasses! What an awesome ribbon rack!!

ReplyDeleteThese are so darn cute Kim. Love them and your new shelving is wonderful. You are so funny. Of course, I need my beauty sleep,(your comment about not sleeping) but I do spend the majority of my free time in my craft room making cards for challenges. It is my obsession....I see Colleen was filling you in about us being BFFs and a lot of the time we will Skype and work in our craft rooms while Skyping. It's like we are crafting together.

ReplyDelete....then there's the ribbon rack....oh the marvelously functional ribbon rack! Wow - you really need to get DH mass producing these puppies and selling them! Lucky you!
