Fabulous as a Flamingo

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's time for a new challenge at Color Hues.  Here's my card...


This time our lovely Carol has chosen these colors for us to use....


The flamingo was cut from a pale pink cardstock and I brushed some darker
pinks over the body and wing.  Doing the face and beak was a little fiddly and
since then I have decided it's much easier to use a Sharpie for the beak and eye.

Now let's go over to Color Hues and see what the my talented friends and our
fantastic Guest Designer Arlene have done to inspire you. 

I hope you'll create a card using Pink and Grey and add it to the gallery at

Please only use hues of these two colors. Neutrals are welcome.
Challenge ends at 9:00 AM on August 14th.
The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge and the overall
 winner will have the opportunity to be a future Guest Designer.

Most importantly, just have fun!

Turning the Page August 2025

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Time to turn the page on our calendars to a new month.

 

I make calendars each year for my desk and my family.

 

I thought I'd set up a regular post on the first day of each month to share them.

 

I hope you enjoy my “Turning the Page” posts.

 

Here's our August page.


 By the way, the calendars 4 ½ x 7 inches and and can be displayed on an easel

or hung on a push pin or magnetic hook.  We all have a different way to display them.

 

If you would like a word document with the calendar, email me

and I will be glad to send it to you so you can design your own.

Email link is on the sidebar.
