It's Aloha Friday everyone!! and the weekend couldn't have come at a better time... with a sick little boy in the house and mommy on the end of crying because she feels so sad, the weekend is very much needed... although it doesn't mean i don't have mommy duties, it does mean daddy's home... =D
today's card is a fabulous share for this Aloha Friday and i'm hoping it will give you a relaxed feel to the start of your weekend.... meet TGF's hula Anya...
dancing in the moonlight with lots of aloha.... she's not a new stamp, actually an older one that i just love, love, LOVE... she definitely makes my top 10... i mean 20.... is that fair?! LOL... the papers are all from the DCWV Green Tea Stack.... i'm trying to hoard this as much as i can because i just love the prints and colors.... this is my kinda color chart... hehe... realistically, we do not have any blue plumerias in Hawaii, but it gave a nice touch to the image... i bought a bunch of Hawaiian themed mango wood buttons at the local fabric store and have been putting them to use this week... this one is the shape of a pineapple that i secured to the card with raffia... a hint of glitter in the flowers and some half pearls on the top left hand corner for accent.... and the Mahalo sentiment is from a local company called Stampettes....
anyway, i really miss playing in challenges and i do try to when i can... i guess i need a push every now and then... it's different when you are creating to just play and when you have to create to fulfill orders... but i managed to fit in 3 different challenges into this one card... first up is the color combo... ATS challenge this week is to use earth tones - blue, brown and moss green... i really lucked out because blue is my FAVE color and i just LOVE the color combo... 2nd is TGF's FFCB WOW challenge - Boy colors.... i'm very sure this fits into the boy color spectrum... and last but not least, Sketch 122 with a twist at The Sweet Stop.... i've been following the blog for about a month or so, but never had the courage to join in and play... until now... the sketches there are awesome... and the inspirations, gorgeous.... ever get stumped on a layout, check them out...
kay, i think i took up enough of your time... =D i do send you plenty Mahalo for sharing a part of your day with me and wish you a wonderful weekend... i'll be back on monday with a new challenge creation for Lollipop Crafts (unless i get a chance to sneak some post time during the weekend... a hui ho, until we meet again!!
