Colour Me...Subtle!

Hi Everyone,

I'm back again with my 3rd week over at Colour Me...! - these ladies are just so talented and so inspirational to me.  It has been so amazing so far!

This week is a subtle week:

I am truly loving the new In Colours from Stampin' Up!  Well, I guess they aren't that *new* anymore but they are so much more fun than I thought they were going to be.  Lost Lagoon is definitely one of my favourites!

Here is my card for this week:

Everyone Has a Rainy Day...

Hi Everyone,

In the midst of getting ready to head back to the East Coast to Newfoundland for my Mom's Family Reunion, I took some time today to get crafty.  I have so much to do and so very little time to do it in but seriously, who can resist taking a little time out to do what you enjoy??  Especially since I will be away from my crafty space for the next month!  Don't worry, I took some time to prepare and schedule blog posts so that I am able to keep up to date with you guys. :)

Today, I decided to play along with the GORGEOUS colour combination over at Colour Me...!  This week is Lost Lagoon (a new favourite of mine!), Island Indigo, Smoky Slate and a neutral.  Love it!

I also wanted to play along with the FABULOUS sketch over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge:

Here is my card for these challenges:

If you are looking for the Island Indigo, both the sentiment and the umbrella are in that colour.  I just love this new Stampin' Up! Hostess Set - Life's Adventure - every image in there is just so darn cute!

Card Recipe:

Card Stock: Smoky Slate, Whisper White, Moonlight DSP Stack

Stamp Sets: Life's Adventure (Hostess)

Ink: Lost Lagoon, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Island Indigo
