Color My Heart Color Dare #124

I am doing my first ever challenge!


Color Dare #124 - Glacier, Kraft, & White Daisy

Happy New Year, everybody! Welcome to 2015, and welcome to a brand new Color Dare! We have an important change for you this year, and I hope you will love it!

CHANGE: I will be adding neutrals to the color combinations this year. That means you may not add random neutral colors to your projects. You must use ONLY the colors specified. However, we will allow black and white, unless otherwise specified.

That being said, I think you will really love the combos for this year. I hope you will be challenged, but I hope it won't be too hard for you.

Now, onto this week's colors:

Glacier
Kraft
White Daisy

 

I made this birthday card for my wonderful hubby.  His birthday is this Sunday.

 

I used CTMH retired scallop edge Kraft Card base, I used White Daisy for the background cut from CTMH Art Booking Cricut Cartridge cut using my new Explore machine.  I used CTMH Art Philosophy to cut the circle for the bulls-eye, I hand cut the arrows and the "My Aim is True",  these were stamped with Glacier ink, the stamp set is January's Stamp of the Month - This Moment (only $5.00 with qualifying purchase.)

 

Happy 2015

January Stamp of the month.

Only $5.00 with qualifying purchase

 

I am still working on my craft studio,  I can not believe how much has been going on for the past three months.  I even found some pictures that I forgot to put in some of our family's gift bag.  (being at the ER with my dad I can not imagine why I forgot.)

 

I am going to make something with January SOTM hopefully this week end.

 

Just checking in

Just a quick post, things have been crazy.  I am watching my precious granddaughter about 12 hours a day now so I haven't been on the computer.  I have had two teeth break off and had to get them fixed and then I ended up having to have a root canal.  Then my dad went to the hospital at 1:30 AM Christmas Eve morning and came home the day after Christmas at 4:00PM to no electricity (there was an accident in front of their house the day before and the electric pole had to be replaced) so I brought them to my house and they finally got to go home about 6 that night. 

So January 5th we will start our school back; now I need to figure out how to get everything in my schedule.  I think I will post on here about our homeschooling day too. (So look for a change in my blog name.)  We only have four short years left and then Jr. will be off to the working world.  He has been such a huge help with everything going on here.  We took off "formal" studies (instead of summer break we do winter break and it was a good thing this year)  He has done a lot of real life learning.  House work, cooking, cleaning, helping with a 16 month old and his grandparents.  But that is what we do, we do for others; it makes us happy!

I am planning to join a couple of blog hops so I can get back to my crafting, card making and hopefully I can start scrapbooking.  Only 30 years behind.  I haven't sent cards to my church family in a while either.

I am also going to share about my dairy-free living now.  So lots to be getting done, wish me luck!

Cricut Explore

Well after two weeks in the box, I finally got my Explore out and used it today.  It sure is different than my Expression and E2, but I just might like it.

My craft room is coming along, it is now time to get everything in place and organized.  It is going to be a long process since it use to be our storage space for decorations.  I guess I will decorate for Christmas early to get it out of the way of my new design space!

I am still dealing with my health issues, it is amazing what all has milk product in it.

I have some pictures that I will post later with the craftroom coming along.
