My Tart-n-Tangy Tin Class

I fell in love with this project when I saw it on Jamie's Blog almost two months ago. I pretty much CASED her class exactly because it was just too stinkin' cute. Here is the link to her Blog. I had high expectations for this class when I sent out the invites but I only had two people sign up. Normally I won't hold a class for this few people, but I really wanted to do the class and the two people who signed up were my MIL and one of my BFF's. I'm looking at it as a fun evening of stamping with some good company.

I used the Tart-n-Tangy set along with the Summer Picnic paper. The tin is an altered Altoid tin and the little cards that fit inside are so cute and small (2x3 inch). I used the mini envelope template to create coordinating envies. The class price was $35 and included a pre-order for the stamp set, two markers and a mono multi adhesive. The rest of the class supplies were cut and ready to go! Here's a shot of the tin by itself.

Hugs,

Not so Glorious green!

I am kind of working backwards with the challenges over at SCS this week. I told you yesterday I love the challenges each day over there. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my favorites. On Tuesdays there is a color combo challenge. This weeks challenge was, are you ready, Real Red, Glorious Green, and Night of Navy. Now to a lot of people, this probably isn't that bad of a combo, but for me-yuck! It is the Glorious Green that makes my stomach turn. I just don't like it. So I wasn't going to do the challenge this week, BUT, I couldn't stop thinking about it. So after seeing my online, soon to be real, friend, Kristin's card, (you can see her other amazing work on her blog listed to the right-she's a great swaps girl) I thought, "hey, I can do this." And so here it is.

I do like how this turned out. I used the same layout on another card, I'll be posting that one tomorrow (and I love that card way better, much more ME-colors) so look for that in my next post and see how different two cards can be using the same layout.

I'm proud I actually took part in the challenge. It is good to work outside your comfort zone every once in awhile. It wouldn't be a challenge, if it didn't make you think, right?! Have a great day!
