Color Throwdown

A couple of my friends came over a few evenings ago and we stamped & created until we were cross eyed! We had so much fun, helping and encouraging each other along the way! I love my friends and spending time with them is the best. The card I created for this challenge was a CASE from my girlfriend Darlene. She is SO incredibly creative ~ oh to create as she does!

We were asked to go a step further with the Color Throwdown this week. 


Be sure to read about it and help bless a fellow Stamping Sister who is very sick. Katie Renz lives in Washington state, is a wife and mother of three and was diagnosed just before Christmas with stage 4 gastric cancer. The members of the Throwdown team felt the need to rally around Katie and show her our support. I knew I had to join in and bless Katie. I'm praying for you my dear. 




Thanks so much for stopping by today ~ have a wonderful day ~
~ hug those you love ~ and tell them so ~
Blessings to you ~ Denise ~

    Oh my friend - what a surprise when I came to visit your blog today - thank you so much for your kind words. They go right back at you too.
    Your card is so pretty. I love the punches you used and Baroque Motifs was my second choice for this card (great minds...). I love the pearls and DP. This card and the verse inside will be a great comfort to Katie.

    Thank you for the kind and encouraging comments on the JUGS blog about my son's move - it means the world to me that there are people who've been through it and understand and offer up wise words. He moved out once before but was 10 min from home and came home most nights to shower since his room at the house he was at had well water LOL. I went through the same thing when my DD went off to college - we eventually get used to it. BUT thanks. LOVE your card - so beautiful and the pearls are a perfect soft accent.

Did you see this new Embossing Folder?  It's from the new Adoring Hearts Bundle and wow!!! what a Bundle this is, we have the Stamp Set, Embossing Hybrid Folder, and the Dies, that work with the Embossing Folder.  So whenever you have an Embossing Folder, that is Hybrid, well, that means you Die Cut and Emboss at the same time...Easy Peasy and AMAZING!!! So what I did was, with my Blackberry Bliss Stamp Pad, I inked Brayered the inside of the Embossing Folder, then carefully laid the Die into the Embossing Folder, placed a 6" x 6" piece of Basic White CS, into the folder!  Ran that through my Cut & Emboss Machine and voilà Stampin Dimensionals behind these sweet ...
