Color Challenge 508

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

A busy day here for me again today! I know I must sound like a broken record!

Kelsey has a doctor appointment late this afternoon then tonight is my stamp girls Christmas get together at Chili's! That's always a FUN time! I'm so excited and looking forward to seeing them!

But first, I had a chance to check out the Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge and decided I needed to play because I am in need of a few cards for Christmas! LOL You must be shaking your head thinking, Wendy, you make Christmas cards all year long with Merry Monday! Yep, I sure do but I sent most of them to Pam's craft show and the rest went with me to the one I did last weekend. I have a few left and I know the clock is ticking down to get them addressed and out in the mail. 

SO, the color challenge today worked out perfectly as the dessert option is to make a Christmas card or a Christmas tag!

Here we go!

The colors are:

Chocolate Chip, Pool Party & Crumb Cake

My card!!

I SO love these colors! I may just have to make another one tomorrow with them!

Merry Monday Challenge #115

Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

It's been crazy around the Aungst Pad. Friday, I went in to have the procedure done to burn the nerves in my lower back. Everything went well and i'm in a bit of pain but the Advil is helping greatly! I've been sleeping well but at times walking & bending can be a bit painful. Hoping in a few weeks once those nerves die off that i'll be pain free! Saturday, the hubby & I went and picked black raspberries for jelly as soon as my back gets better. He picked the majority of them. Together we had 7 quarts! Then on Sunday my oldest daughter, Kirsten, had planned a family day out on the island in the river where her boyfriend has a cottage at. Last minute my Mom got sick and did not come. We had my Dad out with us as well as my younger brother Randy & his wife, Melissa and their dog, Churchill. We cooked on the grill, went swimming from the boat dock,  I however did not swim due to having 4 needle holes in my lower back and the river being dirty. Wasn't taking a chance with getting infection in there! Then we took a nice ride to the sandbar that is in the river where everyone hangs out. My Dad really enjoyed himself as we all did. I just relaxed & took in the sights of a beautiful day!

So, you know they saying...all good things have to come to an end and here we are on a Monday already. Kristie is our fabulous hostess this week over at Merry Monday and she has a pretty awesome challenge for us......so let's get to it!

I have grown to love making an all white card but they are hard to photograph sometimes! For this one I used a tree die from Impression Obsession and added little white pearls to it. Both trees are popped up and I added a white bow. My sentiment is from Stampin Up that was available last year. I embossed it with Silver Embossing Powder and cut it out with Circle & Scallop Circle Nestibilities. The layer under it was embossed with a retired SU embossing folder called Snow Burst. It's one of my favorites!

Well, that is all for me!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!
