Another Shaker Card......

After this week's 100th Color Throwdown celebration....I was not sure if they would be able to come up with a combo that would be as fun or exciting....boy was I wrong!!

I used this week's sketch from 2Sketches4You and I made another shaker card because I had so much fun with the one I did yesterday.

I pulled some Kiwi Kiss dp from my scrap pile....since I did not have kraft I used some Creamy Carmel....created my shaker box at the middle of the space ship and add chuncky blue glitter....I thought it looks pretty close to Baja Breeze....embossed my background pieces and added some ribbon to finish it off. Thanks for stopping by and having a look.

ColourQ Challenge

It is time for another Colour Q challenge....using these colors I created this birthday card. I also created a shaker out of his belly!! I filled the shaker area with some chuncky glitter.....I don't make these kinds of cards very often because I always make ans mess and I don't like the time it takes to complete it....but they are so much for kids and since I need card for a youngster I decided it would be worth the little extra effort that it takes. Smiles on littles one's faces are priceless!!!
I used my birthday embossing folder, Pun Fun stamp set from Stampin Up, markers, brads, and some satin black ribbon...the papers are from Stampin Up Sale-A-Bration tablet. Thanks for stopping by to look!!

Then you'll need to upload a DIRECT link to your creation (we're going to have to be picky about this for the Celebration... links that don't go directly to your creation will be deleted!) using the Inklinz widget on the Color Throwdown blog. Then, start commenting! The more you comment, the greater your chances are to win (but only one per blog, please!) The deadline to enter will be 11:59 p.m. on Monday, July 12th so you'll have plenty of time for your creation and comments! Winners will all be randomly drawn.

Here is the prize for this blog stop: HodgePodge Hardware from Stampin Up!

Q & A:

Q: Can we enter more than one card?

A: Yes, you can but it won't increase your chances of winning since winners will be chosen from the comments left on the designers' blog. To be fair to everyone playing, you can only win one prize. If a participants name is randomly drawn as the winner on one blog, then their name gets randomly drawn on another, a new random number will be drawn.

Q: I'm confused about where we have to leave our comments. Is this going to be like a blog hop??

A: Yes, it is a "blog hop" of sorts, but you don't have to go in any particular order. We ask that you only leave one comment per blog. A complete blog list of the designers who have prizes to give away will be posted with the challenge on Wednesday. The more blogs you comment on, the better your chances will be of winning something!

Memory Album Pages

Awesome time away......we added to the fun by borrowing a friends jeep!! Fun Fun Fun!!!
