you are a gem...

So yesterday I was able to crank out 1 card...LOL...I was going to get tons of stuff done but ended up hanging out...doing errands and having fun.

I adore colors and patterns...I managed to do some dehoarding on this puppy:
Hambly, Prima and K&Co goodness....all packed onto one 'lil 'ole card.

Can you guess what inspired my card for today?

Moxie Fab World's Tuesday Trigger:  Finesse the Dress

I love this dress and if I wore dresses, I'd love to wear this.  Yup, I'm not a dress or skirt kind of gal....I love my jeans, ballet flats, tees and 3/4 sleeve cardigans.

What inspired me?

1.  The colors 
{SU Basic Gray/Hambly Brocade}

2.  The brocade
{Hambly Brocade paper}

3. The texture {eyelet top and bottom hemline}
{Prima crochet bloom, doily and K&Co Brad}

This week is going to be pretty busy on the blog...
Monday:  EAD Designs Blog Hop
Tuesday:  Sparkle Creations Guest Designer {actually 9 pm PST on Monday}
Thursday:  EAD Designs Color Challenge Ends
Friday:  Flashback Friday Challenge 16.0 ends at 11:59 PDT
Friday through Monday:  The Craft's Meow November sneaks with a blog hop on Tuesday

Lotsa other non-crafty stuff going on and add a major roadway closed and probably causing mass hysteria during the commutes to and from work all next week...Life is Good.

That is a fabulous inspiration picture, and your card captured the brocade and color scheme perfectly. I am impressed that you crank out cards so quickly. I would be thrilled if i could make 1 card/day!

Good luck with the commute…do you have a book on tape from the library you can listen to in your car for the commute?

love the card Amy especially the colors, the dress form and that little bit of stitching. I remember road closures on the way to work and always dreaded it the first day.
