I found a new challenge! Stacey's Curtain Call #29 with a birthday card!

Hi guys! I was blog surfing tonight and found a great blog that has color challenges! It's called Stacey's Stamping Stage. Click here to go to the Challenge - it's called Act 29. I didn't have the exact color blue that is used in the color pallette so I substituted a close shade. I needed to make birthday cards anyway! I love blue and orange together as a happy color combination. These colors are opposite on the color wheel for those of you studying color - so they will always go together.

Here is the color image:

And here is my card:

The word stamps are from the new Amuse Anniversary Set! LOVE IT. Yes. THe flower stamp is from a Stampin' Up set. I used my bright colored Adirondack Inks. YUM. I had just enough orange gingham ribbon in the bin to make a bow.

The paper is embossed and kind of glittery - not sure if you can see that in the picture or not.

the inside is stamped with orange and yellow too!

Okay, now for something completely different....from my front yard! The hydrangeas are blooming!!! This makes me VERY happy! Only God could make this color. It is perfection. I stopped counting at 50 flower heads getting ready to explode - and that's only on one bush. Wow. They are loving all of this late season rain we've been having.

Could you die? I did not photoshop these pictures at all!

The next few days are super busy for me, so not sure how much blogging I will get in. I have lots of fun stuff planned with my friends and the DH. I will try to get some stamping in too. If I don't get back on here - have a lovely weekend!
