Happy Friday!  What a day yesterday!  I’ll tell y’all about it in a minute.  First let me tell you about today’s Just For Fun® Color Challenge.  I challenged the Designers to use the following colors this week:

JFFCC16

Even though these are my challenge colors this week, I don’t have a card!  However, we still want you to play along!

You don’t have to use Just For Fun® stamps, especially if you don’t have any yet.  However, if you do play along, you might just be the lucky winner of a 25% Discount so you can go shopping!   All you have to do is make a card/project using the above colors and post a direct link using Mr. Linky on the Just For Fun® Blog.

For further inspiration, you should also visit the blogs of the other Designers. They’ve got some awesome projects to share with you today.

My day yesterday . . . traveling to Orlando.  First we left Louisville 30 minutes late.  Why?  I have no clue.  There was another plane in our spot and we had to wait for them to leave first.  This is what I saw started our descent into Orlando.

When we landed . . . .

planes waiting on the tarmac.  Lightening in the area caused the airport to call in the workers, no planes could take off and in turn, none could pull in.  The wait . . .  30 minutes.

Now I’m hour over give or take.  My flight was scheduled to arrive at 3:05.  I retrieved my checked bag at 4:35.

Then I went to find my shuttle for the trip to the hotel.

Another 45 minute wait.  Arrival at the 5:45.  Time for dinner, a few cold beers and I’m hanging in the room waiting for all the girls.

Have a great day and remember . . .  somebody out there loves you and you can’t do a thing about it!

Smiley from millan.net Good morning!  I truly don’t know where this week has gone.  I meant to have more work done and post more this week, but  . . . . life just got in the way I guess.  After three weeks I finally ran out of clothes so that meant I HAD to do my laundry.  Mallory and I drained and cleaned the hot tub one afternoon Smiley from millan.net, we shopped another day (had to get some shorts for my upcoming trip to Florida Millan.net ),  AND I’m still waiting for Mr. Mojo Smiley from millan.net to return from wherever he has gone.

This being Friday, it means it’s time for another Just For Fun® Friday Color Challenge.  This week I challenged the JFF Designers to work with the following colors:

JFFCC15

I know when I picked these colors I had something in mind but when I went down to the studio to work I couldn’t remember what it was.  My project today is actually my second attempt.  The first got flung to the side and trampled on.

JFFCC15

The panel itself is a balsa wood plague that I painted white, distressed it with my sanding tools and added some ink along the edges.  The flowers and leaves are made from Grunge Board.  This is actually a companion piece to go with the one from Color Challenge #13.

We would love to have you play along with us!  You don’t have to use Just For Fun® stamps, especially if you don’t have any yet.  However, if you do play along, you might just be the lucky winner of a 25% Discount so you can go shopping!   All you have to do is make a card/project using the above colors and post a direct link using Mr. Linky on the Just For Fun® Blog.

Happy Friday!  Sorry I’ve been absent this week, but other things have had to take precedence . . . My weekend crafting frenzy left me slow on the uptake this week and I’ve been doing other things.  You know what they are . . . paying household bills, cleaning the deck, blah blah blah.  I’m also still working on my Chunky Tag class and getting things finalized.

I’m also running late with the Just For Fun® Friday Color Challenge today!  I have no stamping for you YET.  But I will be back a little later today with my card because this is one challenge I don’t want to pass up.  I have an idea, I just haven’t put it to paper yet.

Kat challenged the Designers to make a monochromatic card this week:

Hey y’all! I’ve been buried in the studio for 2 days working non-stop and I’ve finally surfaced. I couldn’t wait to show you what I’ve been working on.

I’ll be teaching a Chunky Tag Art Class at Stampfest Orlando on Friday, June 18 at 9:00 am. I wanted to get my final sample and class piece done this weekend and I did it! Now I just have to finish up the kits and ship it all to Florida.

Remember this?

Good morning! Here we are . . . Smiley from millan.net again . . . . and even better Smiley from millan.net the start of a long holiday weekend. I don’t think we have any plans other than loafing and hanging around the house. It could be that some of us get together one day this weekend, but more than likely that will happen at the last minute. I’m planning on spending the better part of the weekend working on the final sample for my Chunky Tag Class at Stampfest Orlando.

It being Friday, that means it’s also time for another Just For Fun® Friday Color Challenge.  Sandy challenged all of us to use these colors this week:

Here’s my project today.

JFFCC13May29

The base is chipboard and the flower and leaves are made from Grunge Paper. The base was painted with Snow Cap acrylic paint, sanded in certain areas and then sponged with Vintage Photo. To make the sentiment pop, it was stamped in black after the background was stamped in coffee. I found an old vintage button with the thread still attached for the center of the flower . . . way too cool!

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you join along with the JFF Designers and play the color challenge.

Have a great weekend!
