Whew!!!! We officially made it through the MOVE part, but now are trying to find things! Not a good experience with the movers…apparently they couldn’t read…some things in the basement belong upstairs, some in the garage go downstairs, remotes/cords for TVs all jumbled up. I had everything MARKED!!! Took them over 14 hours…unbelievable! But, I JUST found my camera late Wednesday night! For a company that came highly recommended by several people, I would be wary of recommending them to anyone!
But…it’s time for the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge! This month’s challenges are a little different. Since Mary and I were both busy with moves, we decided to “Case the Catalog”. Here’s this week’s inspiration. Could use the color combination OR the layout…whichever you preferred…and each of us did a little something different! I used the Colors represented in the catalog photo:
Anyway…here’s my card. I’m finally getting it uploaded at the last minute!
I had a little fun with angles on this card!
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Soft Sky cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- I cut a piece of Whisper White at 3 x 3, then angled the sides to a finish of 2-1/2 at the bottom (if that makes any sense). I stamped the container of brushes from Crafting Forever with Early Espresso Ink, then carefully watercolored with Crumb Cake, Garden Green and Soft Sky as represented in the catalog photo.
- I also stamped the scissors from Crafting Forever with Early Espresso and watercolored them also.
- I added a little trim of Garden Green cardstock along the left edge and a 1/2 x 4-1/4 strip of Early Espresso across the front.
- I popped up both the angled piece and the scissors off the base Soft Sky cardstock.
- The greeting from Crafting Forever was stamped with Early Espresso.

You are amazing. I would have to either focus on the move or on card making. And yet, you can do both. Your card is great. Love the color combo.
