Colour Challenge

Our current challenge is a colour challenge.  And to use the colours Chocolate Chip, So Saffron and Riding Hood Red.

I had to use these colours for my first Flower Pot card, of course I had to throw in a touch of Old Olive for the leaves.

I really enjoyed making this card.  The flower pots are so sweet, I wish I had've been more onto it for Mothers Day!

So to enter the challenge you can email me a photo of your card or if you have a blog you can add your link to it below.  Have fun and I can't wait to see everyone's creations.

Trudi's February Entry

At the last minute I did this layout using the retiring Bodacious Bouquet.  I'll be sad to see this one go.  The layout is from the January issue of 'Impressions'.  You can visit my blog Made By Me.

Trudi's Cami Tri-Fold Card

I had to have a go at this card, it's such a cute fold and I'll definitely be using it again!  To see it open visit my blog Made By Me.  

Also you have until 7pm tomorrow night to leave your comments.  Then Bella will be drawing a name for the blog candy. (7pm is her bedtime.)

Altered Jars by Trudi

I've been so slack updating this blog lately - so sorry to everyone who's been checking back regulary.  Here's a  couple of quick posts for the new challenge Anything Altered.

I decorated up some jars for Christmas gifts.  I loved using the Rub-ons and took the colors from various designer papers.  For more jars check-out my blog HERE.

CC #1 by Trudi

Here's my entry for the colour challenge.  It didn't come out quite how it looked in my head, but I think it's ok, a little more green than I had intended. Sorry I've used Stem Silhouettes, but it's one of my favourites, shame it's retired, it could easily be substituted with Artfully Asian but I don't have that set - yet.  The layout was CASEd from a card I saw a while ago on Amber Hight's Blog.
