Color Lab Challenge 25

It's Thursday and time for another challeng from the Color Lab!

I'm not sure what's going on in the challenge world this week, but this is the second time I've encountered Pacific Point.  I've said before that it's not one of my favorite colors, but I think I secretly like using it!  At first glance it seems kind of brash, but then it begins to grow on you and you realize that it's really a wonderful color that goes with so many others.  Every time I use it I think "that wasn't so bad!"

This week, I turned to my favorite favor, the matchbox, and embellished it with a Pacific Point flower adorned with some Old Olive leaves from my absolute favorite stamp set:  French Foliage.

Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to pop on over to the Color Lab, check out the fabulous colors this week and create something!  We'd love to see what you do.

Matchbox Favors

I love making favors and for some reason, whenever I do I always seem to reach for my matchbox sizzix die.  Here are a couple I made recently.

I made these for a very sweet lady who is gathering soon for a reunion with some of her college friends.  She told me they all met when they were freshman in 1961 and try to get together every three or four years.  How sweet!  Hopefully her friends will like these!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have time to stamp today!

Bridal Shower Favors

Dottie, a high school friend of my husband asked me to help with some bridal shower favors for her step-daughter.  The colors are black and white with pink accents.  I've spent the last two days in my stamp room making some proto-types and I have been having so much fun!  Here are some of the things I've made.

I have to send the pictures to Dottie so that she can decide which one she likes best. I think she's expecting about 150-200 people at the shower so I tried to make favors that weren't overly complicated.  After all, we're going to have to asssemble these babies at some point!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have time to stamp today!

Easter Matchbox Treats

We are having about six (or seven) people over for Easter dinner tomorrow, so I decided to make everyone an Easter favor.

I made these using some more of the Spring Showers (or Spring Flowers) retired designer paper.  I filled them with Hershey's nuggets wrapped in more designer paper.  The center of the flower is a build-a-brad (and now I'm just about out of them {drat}).  I had so much fun making them!

We had some glorious weather today!  I think it's going to be just as wonderful tomorrow so we are going to have our Easter dinner outside on the patio.  I spent quite a bit of time today cleaning the patio furniture and getting the cushions out of storage.  Hopefully Mother Nature will not let us down!

Happy Easter everyone!
