Baroque Motifs 2S4Y #32 and Act 2 Color Challenge

This last weekend we attended my cousin Alicia's wedding. It was good to see family that came from out-of-town and spend time celebrating something happy. I also decided to round up all my usual challenges and head back down to the craft room for some work of my own. I picked 2 Sketches 4 U for the layout and Curtain Call Color Challenge Act 2 at Stacey's Stamping Stage. These beautiful, rich colors gave me lots of inspiration.















I thought it was about time I tried using the scallop edge medallion technique from Splitcoast Stampers. I've made many of them, but never quite knew what to do with them on a card. Well this layout provided me the perfect opportunity. I hope you enjoy it!

Seasons of Joy Curtain Call Act1

It was beginning to look a lot like Christmas is my Curtain Call Color Challenge Act 1 this week. I feel like I overuse the same sets every week and I haven't ordered any new sets yet because I am desperately waiting to order from the mini-catalog. Yippee! Anyway, that left me with few choices for this week's challenge. So I turned to a Christmas set that I adore...Seasons of Joy!

Here's my card. The lighting is terrible and doesn't make the colors pop like they should, but that's what I get for taking pictures at 9:30 at night.

It's difficult to see, but I clear embossed the swirl over the tree for an added affect.
