better late than never...

Here's what I made for Kristina Werner's 13th color challenge. I'm a few minutes late in posting and am holding a naked baby so I'll share details later...


So, now it's later and due to technical difficulties I had with blogger, I wasn't able to post before. Then, add in parenting-related difficulties such as naked Jaya running around the house and Savi climbing up the outside of the banister and here it is, almost 10:00pm...

On to the card: we were to use purely pomegranate, regal rose, river rock, wild wasabi, and whisper white. I opted to make a 3"x3" sized card because I really wanted to focus on the square that I made in an attempt to replicate one of the pillows in the bedding. Let me pause here to say that I didn't get the greatest picture of this card...the colors look weird here, but actually look very pretty in real life. I used two stamps from Baroque Motifs, one of the greatest sets ever! I stamped the little flower stamp in Versamark for the background on river rock. I stamped the medallion stamp on wild wasabi with regal rose. Then I applied dazzling diamonds glitter using a 2-way glue pen. Like I said, the picture is all funky! My real card is very cute...I promise!

Now for some exciting news: after 20-some days of waiting and not knowing about our situation, we finally have a clue!! Man, it feels so good to have direction again. Basically, Sach is keeping his current job, which allows him to work from home and we are moving to Houston, but not for about a month. That gives me plenty of time to organize and pack, I think. We're not sure when we're going to place our house on the as-it-were brutal market, but hopefully we'll be able to figure some things out after another round of house-hunting in Sugar Land/Missouri City this weekend. Wish us luck!!

Thanks for stopping by and I'll be posting again soon with another Ann Taylor-inspired card...
