This challenge was a color challenge and I used Bazzill Arroyo -peach/coral color, Bazzill Safari and Canson Indigo Blue. I hope these are close enough to the colors that were chosen.I also created a birthday calendar. I have one from SU so I copied that idea but I used PP for the cover and the back cover. I wish I had a bind it all so I could've bound it. I used MS Publisher to create the calendar pages. I'm pretty happy with it. We can always think of other ways to do the pages after they're done. I hope my swap partner liked it. I'll have to take a photo of hers and post it next time. It's really so pretty and such a great design! So here it is:
I also received my 2nd ever blog award from Carolyn Bounds! I want to express my sincere appreciation for this award. I am always amazed when someone thinks enough of me to send me something like this. I really want 2009 to be the year that I spread the love instead of concentrating on all the bad stuff. I truly want to try and be more positive in 2009!
I'm going to share this award with:
Angela, Here Now
Estee, One Ginormous Adventure
Joani, Cards Made by Hand
Staci, Stop it's Scrappin Time!

ValAnn, ValAnn's Thoughts

OH OH OH almost forgot! I received my bombshell stamps in the mail on Friday I was so excited to receive them. I really like the high quality stamps. The images stamp very nicely and I used the butterflies and flowers for the Birthday calendar for June. I will be stalking their DT's blogs to get more ideas. Here is one of Bombshell's DT member Confessions of a Stamper blog. Go look at her awesome creations!
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!!
