A ColourQ Thanks

I really like the colors at ColourQ, but I have been

quite stumped at to how to use them.  I also took some

liberty with the Bermuda Bay and Certainly Celery. 

My Washi Tape is a bit brighter than those two colors.  

I am also entering my card at the 52 Card Pickup.

A Grand Slam

One rather simple card for four challenges.  I usually combine

challenges, but its been awhile since I combined four.  I used

the colors at ColourQ which went along well with the masculine 

challenge at Simon Says Stamp.  Two challenges ~ Addicted to CAS

and A Passion for Papertrey both had circle challenges, and I almost

always use at least one Papertrey product on all of my cards. 

 

One more picture, non card related ~ from chaperoning a field trip

to the Milwaukee County Zoo on Friday with my son's class.

I am not bragging, well maybe a little ;) ~ but we do have one of the 

best zoos in the country.  They just opened a new exhibit with 

sting rays and sharks, and you can "pet" them.  The sharks were

less likely to get close enough to touch, but sting rays swam close to 

the edge and are very soft to touch.  The kids absolutely loved it.  If

you are anywhere near Milwaukee, WI this summer, I would highly

recommend going to the zoo, just to see this exhibit.  My son is 

the short one with his legs in the air ~ almost falling in  ;).

Supplies ~ 

Stamps:  PTI Grunge Me & Think Big Favorites # 12

Paper: PTI White & Soft Stone

Ink:  SU Going Gray, Island Indigo & Pool Party

Additional Supplies:  Avery Elle Sequins
