January Colors

I posted a card very similar to this one about a year ago. At the time, I made two and this is the first one, I posted the second one I made. Anyway, I like the motif I used (don't remember where I got it) and I like the layout. Hmmmm, I like the colors too. As some of you may know, I'm color challenged, never been able to coordinate "acceptible" color combinations.  Why am I telling you this? Well I took over a swap where I must pick out new color combinations each month. I'm still trying to figure this one out, however, I am up for the challenge.

Colors for the month of January are Wild Wasabi, So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red.
Before I made the color commitment for January, I went to visit my local SU rep. I couldn't figure out the Color Coach and color coordination being a  challenge, I needed to learn to use it. She explained how to use this accessory and some tips on picking out popular and/or new color combinations.
I hope you try these colors and while I would like to see what you come up with, I will just have to put it on my wish list.
Let me know what you think of my color combo. If  by chance I find where I saw the motif (it was on a card), I will post it on my Pinterest page.
Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.  Take care

Thank You

Aren't challenges fun? For me, they keep me actively crafting and thinking. I use my brain in fun ways, I play games. I love word games, scrabble being my favorite. But my passion is crafting. I like putting things together but most often need a pattern of some sort. Knitting, crocheting and counted x-stitch, I follow patterns. The same goes for my card making. I move faster if I have a sketch to follow. I am not an artist, can't draw worth a darn, and am never satisfied with my own creations, so I follow patterns.

The sketch here is Mojo Monday #213, the colors are from Hand Stamped Sentiments #91 and the sentiment is for Tuesday Throwdown #73. Wow, I got three challenges into one card. Keeps the number of cards I make to a minimum. I make cards, I don't send cards. Its now time to get my cards boxed and sent off to OWH.
Paper is SU: Cherry Cobbler, Real red, Wild Wasabi and Very Vanila. (the pp is from probably DCWV, but I could be wrong)
The circles and oval are Spellbinders Nestabilities, the stamp is Inkadinkado, and lastly, that little bit of embellishment is from Recollections.

Lovely friend

Its Thursday, and here I am trying to get things uploaded for this week's challenges. I have been very busy in my craft room finishing up last month's swaps, so now I can concentrate on November.

I wanted to make a card for Designs2delight digi challenge but I was having a problem with a layout. What do I do if I need a layout? I got over to Mojo Monday or Splitcoast Stampers.
I used this weeks SCS sketch,  SC356 for my layout, the stamp is a digi from Designs2Delight called Lovely tree and the colors,  rich razzleberry, kraft, cream and green are for a color swap. There was one problem with this sketch, it only uses three layers. I made four layers since I need to have the four colors on my card. I cheated a little bit on the green, I used Zig markers instead of green paper. Hope you like my card. Thanks for stopping by. Take care
