or something. I'm going to owner approved comments until this goes away. I really, really, REALLY don't want to have to do that word verification thing! We'll see. Sorry guys!
ETA: Ok, I apparently DO have word verification on. How did the spammer get by that??? I'll keep an eye on it or awhile.....
My SU order came on Monday. My wonderful demo brought it to me in a snow-shower!
I was determined to make some cards w/this bounty. I started w/the rubons (stinking COOL rubons!) I figured I'd use the black first. Ok, what color would look best with black. Not red, not white. Hey, I've got some In Colors left from last year & I'm going to get rid of them all! I have decided that In Colors are not a good thing (at least not for my weirdly wired mind). I bought 3 colors of ink & reinker 'cause I would not be able to get the ink again. Uh, what do you do w/the ink & inkers when the PAPER is gone??? I now have Cranberry Crisp & True Thyme ink & no paper to go with it. I hate that!!! But, I digress.
I picked out Vintage Violet 'cause I thought the black would look good against that color. Now, to find another color to go with it. All of the remaining In Colors look HORRID w/this color except Marigold Morning (the 3rd color of ink I bought. WHY??? I hate yellows!) This combo looks ok & I find a ribbon in my stash that goes pretty well.
I have to make something else to use my new stamps & Scallop punch. I look for a pattern paper to go w/dirty bruises (VV). Nothing! Finally, I find some scraps of an old Basic Grey. It actually matches (and the distressing matches the Marigold!) I'm not 100% crazy about this one.
So I try some more BG PP to see what else I come up with. These, I'm actually pretty happy with. I'm still not digging the VV. I went to a SU Color Matching site but, there wasn't much there I liked. I was going to try it with a rose or pink color when Shuggy posted that she LOVES this color. I'm sending the rest to her and not wasting any of my time on a really, really ugly color.
I am going to accomplish something tonite if it KILLS me!! My closet has been a wreck for 2 weeks now. It's gotta end sometime. My dad is taking the kids to church tonite so, I'll have about 2 hours of ME TIME. Of course, some of that time has to be spent doing some housework. I got the basement clean last night but, I still have the upstairs to do. I caught a glimps of DS's TV last night. ACK!!!! Why does his room seem to get the most dust?? Do the dust bunnies know he's allergic & that's why? Once I clean upstairs, I'm gonna get the closet DONE! Then, I can finish mounting my stamps & maybe even get some stamping done!
I do have to finish one more Christmas Card. I vowed to do 10 per month so when November rolls around, I'll have at least a hundred cards done & won't be INSANE!!! Of course, then I won't have anything "fun" to do in December......
