H2H Color Challenge

I'm taking a break from my Organizing to post my entry for the H2H Challenge.  It is a well deserved break too!  I've been doing so much sorting and straightening lately. Take a look at my scraptable! It was just BEGGING me to mess it up!

I was excited about doing this H2H Challenge. The H2H Challenge is a color challenge and I was ready for a change in colors!  I still had not received my order of the new Spring Summer products to play with so I've been working with the new Wings paper kit almost exclusively.

Here are the colors for the challenge:


We were allowed to add a touch of sorbet.

Here is my H2H Color Challenge entry:  "Dream"


For the color of Sky, I used B&T paper from Magnifique and Sky Cardstock.  Pear came from the B&T paper from Olivia and Pear Cardstock. "Dream" is stamped in Sky using the new "Dreams Come True" Stampset that is featured in this month's January Inspiration Brochure.   This stamp is regular $22.95 but if you purchase the Wings WOTG Kit (G1016) you can get the stamp set $18.00!   My touch of sorbet is the flower from this same set, and the ribbon.  I 'hand-sticthed' the edges of the card with the Sky Exclusive Ink Marker.

    I love card too. And . .. I love the scrapping area picture you inserted at the front of the post. Wow! Now that's inspirational for me. Courtney and I are in the midst of organizing part of the basement for arts and crafts, which include some scrapping materials, paints, fabrics and so much more. Did Jeff build your scrapping organizer shelves?

    I really like the card very nice. The hand stitching adds a lot too. Thanks for sharing and thanks for sharing a bit of your scrapping space - I am in the process of cleaning or straightening up my room as well.

I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measureme...
