Whimsy and Stars

Put on your sunglasses, it's a bright one today. I just got this BoBunny Valentine paper, and the colors are not traditional for Valentine's Day at all, but they are fun.

I've used a new image from Whimsy and Stars Studio called Teddy Couple Hug. I always love images from the back and this one is no exception, it's so cute!

Sentimental Sundays #84

Thanks to everyone who hopped along with us for the Sentimental Sundays New Years blog hop! It was a fun way to ring in the New Year! I really appreciated all the comments, I'll post the winner of the blog candy later today.

Here is my second post for Sentimental Sundays this year. This week our challenge theme is blue, glitter and or snow (you can use one, two or all three).

And Bugaboo is the sponsor. They very graciously allowed us to pick an image. I chose this really fun Stella image. Isn't she a hoot???!! Love the sentiment with her too, that's me in the morning.

I've used blue and glitter on my card. Did you notice Stella's hair is a bit blue? She's got a blue rinse. I had an aunt who used to get a blue or pink rinse on her grey hair! I thought of her as I added just a hint of blue to her do.

Phindy's Friday Challenge

TGIF! Time for another Phindy's Friday Challenge (this first challenge for 2012). The theme this week is a color challenge. Phindy has lots of images in her shop that would work out perfectly with this challenge. 

Here are the colors: brown, teal, white and celery/moss. It's such a fresh and hip color palette, was really fun to work with!

I went with Connected Girl for my image this week. She is so perfect for a tween or teen card. Will probably go to one of my nieces for her birthday.

Hope you will pop on over to the challenge blog and see what the DT has created this week. Play along with the challenge to win some prizes. It's not necessary to use a Phindy image, but if you do you get entered twice, so that is some pretty good incentive!
