A Mind of its Own

Happy Saturday!   I can hardly believe that I leave for the Stampin' Up! convention on Tuesday.  I am in the home stretch with my swap cards, but I know I will work on the five hour flight as well as some nights in my hotel room in Salt Lake City.  It happens every year, but I know that is part of the excitement of convention.

Here is the Utah Diva's sketch for today, UDISC248. You can find all of the cards and designers here.

 I am also using a color challenge this week from Create with Connie and Mary.  Isn't this yummy?

Here's what I came up with.  I have to admit, this card strays a bit from the sketch, it seemed to have a mind of its own.

Details ~

• Paper ~ Whisper White, Crisp Cantaloupe
• Ink ~ Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral, Pistachio Pudding, Soft Suede
• Stamps ~ Too Kind (love this set!)
• Accessories ~ Pistachio Pudding 3/8"ruffle stretch trim,  Modern Mosaic embossing folder

I just love the new In-Colors, especially the ruffle stretch trim.  When I was first introduced to Stampin' Up!, I only bought stamps.  I figured I could buy ink, paper and ribbon anywhere.  This is true, but I also learned that nothing ever matched!  I know I have a good eye for color, and if something is just a shade off, it really bothers me.  Now I tell my customers that one of the best things about Stampin' Up! is our beautiful coordination across the entire product line.  Don't forget, you can shop on line 24/7 in my store and have your goodies delivered right to your door!

Take some time to do something creative this weekend!  You'll be happy you did.

Blessings,
Barbara
