Bright & Cheery

The end of the school year is pretty much here (insert excited squeal here), and I've got a few people that I want to send a thank you out to.  So this afternoon I put on some music, opened the window wide, and pulled out this happy making paper.

After spending all day playing with this paper and making all sorts of cards, I realized that I have about 20 grad cards to make and that I had better get started on those too.  However, by the time this happened, it was nearly dinner time so I only ended up with one.  Guess I'll be crafting tomorrow again!

Beyond the Garden II

 

Maybe I don't like yellow or orange, but who doesn't love hot pink?  Green happens to be my favourite colour, so when I saw the pairing of Melon Mambo and Wild Wasabi, my heart leapt!  Usually I like a more muted pallete for my cards, but the brave flowers bearing their petals against the brutal Cariboo "spring" made me feel the urge to use some fun shades.

Beyond the Garden I

 

 As I've stated before, I hate orange.  Yellow isn't that far behind.  I know, I know.  It's the colour of sunshine, it's cheery, blah blah blah.  I just don't like it that much.  However, the new DSP from Stampin' Up has lessened my negative feelings towards this primary subtractive shade.
