K Werner Color Inspiration #42

So... it's been a whole week since I've updated my blog! It's been a BUSY week - mostly busy with Conference stuff. I'm putting the finishing touches on the registration booklets so I can get them to the printer. My goal is to have them out at the very beginning of March. (My original goal was the end of February - so much for that!)

So the color inspiration challenge uses colors that I am not all that familiar with and don't use very often. It was good in that it was somewhat of a stretch for me. And I love the simple card that came of it.

My card this week is HEAVILY influenced (that is, practically copied!) from this card by Heather Nichols, one of my very favorite crafters. She is on the design team and is also a stamp designer for Papertrey Ink and this card uses one of her new stamp sets. I only allow myself to purchase one Papertrey set per month from their new releases - and whenever Heather designs a set, I know that's the one I'll be buying. I just love her style!

This card is all ready to send out to my friend, Kia, who REALLY deserves more than just a card from me. I feel like I should be taking her dinner for a week or throwing her a party or something. You see, my little five-year old, Jack, ate too much junk during Sunday School and threw up on the floor of the church sanctuary after church today. It was a horrible, disgusting mess. And my hero and new best friend, Kia, took charge and helped me clean it all up. She has four kids, so she's no stranger to vomit. She told Jack that's how he can tell how much she loves him. I don't know if I love anyone else's kids that much. (I'm sure I would manage, though!) ;)
