Creating for Drawn Together

Yesterday I posted about the fundraiser that Amber is putting together called Drawn Together. This is a great cause that I think will go far in the lives of the community & children of Newtown, Connecticut.

In my effort to donate some cards, in addition to other items, I sat down and made some cards on Saturday. I haven’t created in quite a while {since I’ve been sick}, so my creativity has gone MIA. In addition, just knowing that these cards will go to those affected by this tragedy, I couldn’t help but break down a few times while making items. There still are no words….

Since I know that bright colors tend to cheer me up, I tried incorporating them into the cards I’m making. I pulled out some patterned papers and the Lawn Fawn set, Critters in the Forest, to create this card.

I’ve hoarded quite a bit of patterned paper that I love, but haven’t been able to figure out what to use them on. Enter this special cause. I’m looking forward to using them to bless others and with many of them being bright colors, I hope they’ll bring a shimmer of light into the lives of those in CT.

I’ll be back tomorrow for my Random Loves feature for December. Hope you’ll be able to join me and list some of the things you’ve been enjoying this month!

Stomping By…..

Hello there!

Today I have another card to share with you featuring the current 10 Minute Craft Dash color palette. I remember back {not that long ago} when I was timid to pull out orange onto my cards. Now, I seem to sneak it on whenever I get a chance! Ah, the beauty of transitioning styles and going outside your comfort zone.

In case you haven’t seen the colors, here is what we are featuring in the challenge. If you’re new to the challenge, you can create any sort of crafty item, it just needs to be with these colors and take under 10 minutes to create. {Don’t worry, you can gather your supplies beforehand!} 

And now, here is take 2 of giving these colors a whirl. I couldn’t help but pull out the Elephant for this card. Yes, I realize I pulled him recently out on this card and this card, but he’s just so adorable!

Time it took to create: 7 minutes 3 seconds

There’s a great prize up for grabs and this challenge definitely gives you a little workout. I hope you’ll come join in on the fun and also spread the word. The more, the merrier! :)

You ladies are fab- thank you for all the sweet comments recently. They totally make my day and with my health not being great, they definitely bring smiles to my face.

See you all tomorrow for my Thankful Thursday post. Have a wonderful rest of your day!
