3 for the price of 1!!!

I love this card... I love the colors, the layout and the super cool edge at the top!!! GOtta love those corner rounders!!!
So I made this card to fit into 3 categories. First was the color challenge on SCS found here CC149 using Rose red, Appricot Appeal and sage Shadow... I really liked how this turned out!
Next was the Sketch challenge also on SCS found here SC159
And third but definately NOT least... I had to use my corner punch one more time to show you the cool effect you get without the corner guard and how awesome it looks on a card!
So here are my supplies..
Stamps: bothway blossoms (retired), refuge and strenght, weathered BG
Ink: stazon white, basic black, rose red, appricot appeal, sage shadow
paper: rose red, Appricot appeal, sage shadow, shimmery white... I know I use trhis a lot...but I just LOVE this stuff!!
Accessories: wrought iron punch, ticket corner punch, ribbon
Thats about all for that!
And Now I just have to tell you that I have the BESTTTTTT HUbby in the whole wide world! Wanna know why? Well he was off from work on Tuesday (firefighter...crazy schedule) and when he got home he fed the kids breakfast and let me have oatmeal and a nice cup of hot chocolate without ANY interuptions...then he said, "Hey hon, why don't you take Bella and go to the mall...use up that gift certificate and have fun! I'll keep the others!!!!" I had the BEST time I tell ya! And I had no one calling me, crying about a toy that the ther had, no changing a diaper every 20 minutes. It was absolutely DEVINE!!! Not to mention that I got some FABULOUS deals while I was out! I had a $100 gift certificate and I bout 20 items...thats right 20!!! And that included but not limited to, 4 shirts, a dress, 2 pillows and some presents for some birthdays that are comming up...I was very excited and returned home rejuvinated...Thanks Honey, you're the BEST!!!
Thanks for stopping by!

Another Corner punch creation

I wanted to start by letting you know that I just got about 30 pillar and other candles from Freecycle (it's a yahoo group), if you don't know what freecycle is then you are in for a treat...it is the mecca of getting and giving FEE stuff in your local area. All you have to go is go on over to www.google.com (after you have oogled my pretty candle that is!) and type in freecycle + your town or county (I belong to 3 freecycles because I live so close to all of them!) Then you make an account and you are good to go! YOu will start to recieve e-mails from people wanting to get rid of things and you can reply back to them and if you g it all you have to do is pick it up! Goes tha same for getting rid of things...you just post it and whoever replies first (or however you choose to handle the replies) comes and picks up the items from you! No hastle! I love love love it! Anyways because I got sooo many RED candles I will probably be making MANY creations with them...perfect for Valentine's Day!!!
I had so much fun with the tutorial from yesterday that I had to show you what the wrought iron punch looks like in a straight line...there is no stamping in this project, but I think it looks really cute! I will probably add a tag to it when I give it away! I hoep you enjoy one of many red candle projects to come!!!
Supplies:
Paper: real red, sage shadow, appricot appeal
Accessories: wrough iron punch, 5/8 Ivory grossgrain ribbon
Thanks for stopping by!
