Happy Birthday, Jess!

Another friend, another birthday! Jess’s birthday was on Monday. She was my boss at the Co-op, but now that I am not working there anymore, we can be “real” friends. It was hard for us because we hit it off right away when I started there, but because she was my immediate supervisor, we couldn’t really have a relationship outside of work. Now we can and we are both happy about it. Our kids are the same age and we will definitely getting together a lot more now. So, my real friend, Happy birthday!

All products used in this card were from CTMH. The paper was from the Cherry-O pack. Other things used were the tulip mini medleys, the autumn daisy flowers (retired), big pinks flowers, heartfelt wonder, cocoa grosgrain and tulip grosgrain. The stamp sets used were Treasures of the Heart (retired), A Little Everything (March 2010 SOTM), and Say It In Style.

Jeanette’s Color Me Monday Challenge

Every Monday, Jeanette Lynton has a color challenge on her blog. She challenges us to put together colors that we might not normally try. To be honest, this is the very first time I have ever done one of her challenges and I have to admit that I had a very hard time with it. I don’t know that I am even happy with the end result, but it will have to do because I am not starting over again. Jeanette made some very creative things with this color palette and they can be seen here. I don’t know how she does it, but it could be because she is probably the single most creative person alive.
