Mornin' y'all! Blogger was being a little bit weird for some reason, but it seems like it's working now so let's get to it! Today we're starting with Time Out Challenges:
And you know what, I have an old SU! stamp set named Sweet Treats so obviously I had to get that out. I think I got that stamp set fairly early in my stamp career, I'm thinking prior to 2010 so it's been here a while but it's still fun. Here's what I made:
I had to color in the image twice, because the first time I colored in the cherry first and when I finished I realized I needed to switch the colors on the cherry and the ice cream topping, here's my first attempt:
Definitely looks better with the sauce darker than the cherry, but I had to color the second one in a hurry since I had dinner in the oven and I was trying to finish before the chicken was done cooking. I suppose this image could be strawberry ice cream, but I'm going to call it bubblegum ice cream because my kiddo likes the weird flavors like that (though usually he'll go for one that's bright blue instead of pink). I chose pinks for my card today for the Color Dare Challenge:
I went with Bubble Bath for my lightest pink, and then chose two darker shades, Magenta Madness and Berry Burst. You know, I usually don't use much Berry Burst but here lately I have used it several times. My additional color is Lost Lagoon because I thought it would jive well with the other colors, and it worked for the glass and the cherry leaf.
My first errand yesterday took much longer than expected so I didn't get as much done in my craft room as I wanted to yesterday, but I didn't have any errands to run today so I should be clear to craft as soon as I take Daphalonia on her walk. For once she's not shoving her nose under my elbow telling me to hurry up, but that could change at any moment. Maybe she's tired because she played with Ryan this morning and he threw her toy and it BROKE OFF bits of the wall where it hit. I think the hubs will be able to fix it but he won't be happy about it. At least it was one of the walls that I want to repaint anyway, and we've got another wall on the staircase landing where Daph cannon-balled into it so that eventually needs fixed too. I think we're going to paint the master suite before we go back and repaint the living room/stairs/upstairs hallway/loft. Anyway, none of that will be today, I've got some card ideas swirling around for today. Cheers!
