Chill Out! It's Not a Total Disaster!

Ummmm.....ok, first off, the image photographed as though it were baby blue instead of Baja Breeze and not shadowed in any way which frustrates me because the image is actually the only thing I like about this card!

This card is for the SCS sketch challenge 213 and for some reason I decided to use the colors from the color challenge 203 from this week too. I think it would have turned out better had I used colors more in my comfort zone, but what the heck...then it would have been a challenge!

Ok, let's poke a little more fun....Ummmm, why does my flower look likes it's floating out there in space? Hahahaha!

Well, I am going to do what the card says and "Chill Out". It's not a total disaster!

By the way, I'm really struggling with my photography lately for some reason. I am going to break down this weekend and buy one of those Ott lights!

OH....and I almost forgot, I'm signing up on Sunday to become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator! Yay! I can't wait to place my first discounted order! Yahoooo! And for some reason as I'm reviewing this realized I'm in love with exclamation points today! HA!

Make Mine a Double!

Fall is in the air and when I saw that the Color Challenge for this week (CC187)on Splitcoast Stampers (SCS) was inspired by fall I knew this would have to be my first challenge. I took it one step further and also designed my card using the SCS Sketch Challenge from last week(SC196) and made it a double challenge!
