Color Challenge & Mother's Day "Half & Half" Cards

Made my Mother's Day cards for the "Half and Half' challenge today - 20 of them, all florals but used the colors in my color challenge for most of them. Getting better at heat embossing and tried some water color/pencil on the yellow one. I don't know: with me, "less is more" but I am looking forward to learning new techniques for my cards at Traci's class tomorrow and through Stampin' Up!

15/15 and I'm Done for Today!

We have a "Half and Half" challenge to do 15 "anytime" cards and 15 Mother/Father's Day cards by March 15. I'm going to use a card that I did for the current color challenge for Mother's Day cards next week but I actually "cheated" and did 20 "hello" and "just a note" cards at Scrapbooks and Etc. last Wednesday. Used the "envelope" card design I did for the "stash" challenge (patterned paper and buttons) and did 6 of the cards with some Scenic Route double-side cardstock that was especially appropriate for "guy" cards.

Lots of bad news from Chile today and now waiting to see if Hawaii gets damage.. lots of prayers needed for these folks.
