Colorful . . .

 Happy Memorial Day Weekend to all my USA family & friends!

Today I've created a couple of cards to share over on the AAA Colourful Challenge.
Here's their color palette for this month.

 

 

 

 A long time crafting friend has decided to sell off ALL her paper crafting 'schtuff' and go into quilting so I went to her garage sale and bought all her paper.  The 6x6 paper pack I've used on today's cards are from her sale.  NOT that I needed MORE paper but I couldn't pass up the amazing prices she was offering.  She sold EVERYTHING ... 
Needless to say ... I'm not going to need card stock for awhile!  LOL
Will also be sharing with other crafting friends!

 
The paper pack I referred to above is from 
Crafter's Companion and called The Fairy Glade.

Crafter's Companion 12" x 12" Paper Pad - The Fairy Glade [SS-FG-PAD12]

 

 Here are the two cards I created . . .
 I've used the same paper for both cards ... but on Card #2 
I flipped the one panel over to show the reverse side .

Card #1

I finally have all my outside mulching, flower planting done so now it's time for a little inside house cleaning and even more crafting.  

ENJOY what ever you're doing this weekend!

 Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
I appreciate it more than you'll ever know!!

As always . . .

  1. The colors of those papers and the challenge are right up your alley, they made beautiful cards, I love when the pretty papers can pretty much stand alone. What a fabulous sale you hit too from your friend, though I can't even imagine giving up my card making supplies, though I'd be 'richer' LOL!!

  4. Oh, my gosh, what a haul! The packs and bins of schtuff make my mouth water! I'm like Diane and couldn't imagine giving up all my card making goodies, but your friend's supplies went to a good home! That Fairy Glade paper is jaw dropping. I swoon! Your cards are stunning, Darlene!
