Timeless Tuesday ....get inspired


Well it's time for Timeless Tuesday and Tammy has asked us to get inspired by this funky topirary picture. Wow is all I can say...crazy isn't it and certainly very challenging. I see the bright colors of pinks and oranges so that's what I went with. I need my hair touched up and it looks about as funky as this free for all curly ribbon mess. It's a crapper getting old and seeing all the gray and different colors on your head and trying to make it look even half way decent...but I do try every now and then. ANYHOW ! I took out the set called Hearts & Flowers and decided to make a sort of Valentinesie card. My base is white then the orange, then bright pink, and lastly the Valentine type paper. Used 2 circle dies from Spellbinders and added some bright pink and orange ribbon and I'm fini. Easy card and it does fit the challenge I hope.
Weather here is still Ok ...in the 50's today but they are predicting a cool down tonight and well since it is winter time I guess we have to expect that. I'm content just sitting by the fireplace reading a good book. I'm just starting The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo. Heard all sorts of reviews on it but will wait and judge on my own. Happy week fellow stampers. Hope it's a good one for you all and if you get any time to join in the Valentine drive I would love to have you.

Pretty wild inspiration colors, but you pulled it off! Your card is very pretty. We too are having cray weather, much too warm for this time of year, but we do live in the South!

Great to see Children's Hospital up on the screen, Pat! I have at least a hundred bright pink 50/50 ticket halves from the last basketball game we attended to craft some 'You're a winner!' ; 'You're Number One!' Kids' Cards! Everyone around us was interested to donate their matching tickets not matching the winner drawn at half time of the boys varsity game. After the run and gun girls game, I supposed that everyone would forget the primer conversations about Valentine Cards4Kids. Not so! An entire popcorn bag staples shut came my way! Now to cull the totally worrisome bend into lifters and flats into the top spotlight winning kidclient Valentine 'image'. More later! Had to pop in with the ticket news.

I just finished The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo trilogy!
The first one is hard to get into, don't quit; cause you won't be able to put them down!
Love the inspirational tree, and the card you made!
