Happy New Year! I welcome 2010 with open arms! I am up for some challenges, serious craft time, staying organized, and trying new things (like my new Cuttlebug that Stephen gave me for Christmas and some mists). I vow to be more calm and not to sweat the small stuff!
2010... bring it on!
To start the year off right, I am posting my first challenge submission for 2010 to Die Cuts R Us. I just ordered from the DCRU shop and they ship super fast! I purchased embellishments and some embossing folders for my new Cuttlebug that I haven't used yet! :) DCRU has fantastic prices too, so check it out!
The challenge is to make something inspired by the colors that are in the DCRU logo, which is this:
And this is what I came up with, all color inspired, but I also took a cue from the stuff she is holding to make my 4 rectangle boxes to the right of the LO:
The photos in this LO are pretty bad. It was Anna's 3rd birthday and we had her party outside, there was a lot of shade and shadows. Oh well... Anna loved all the purple and pink!
Hope you all have a great evening! We are expecting snow here, and lots of it! Hopefully, the kids will be out of school tomorrow and we can all go sledding! I have a craft plan for the evening, after the kiddos hit the sack since my DH is in Texas. I plan to share more tomorrow!

LO looks awesome! Sorry about the no snow day, but maybe you can still enjoy the snow if it keeps up. You and Dara will totally have to bond over the cuttlebug. It intrigues me on so many levels. Have to think about it.:) Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteYour LO is Precious. Love your design and the way you used the invite. (I have an Anna too...miss her at age 3...she's 14 now.) I'm glad you are with us this week at the DCRU Challenge. Hope to see you again soon.
