Fast and Fabulous Friday - Peaceful Petals Swap Card

Hello My Friends

Last night I went to the Team meeting of my upline and we were all challenged to bring swap cards that use as many of the retiring In Colors (2012-2014) as possible.  Me?  I sort of made a mistake.  I knew we were supposed to use retiring In Colors.  I missed the part about using as many as possible.  So my card uses only 2.

I love the way Raspberry Ripple and Gumball Green go together.  I will definitely miss this years' retiring In Colors.  Well - mostly.  I honestly cannot say that I will miss Summer Starfruit that much!  But that is beside the point.

In addition to messing up on the actual challenge (I only used 2 of 5 possible colours), I brought my bits and pieces with me to the meeting (I arrived early) to put them together on-site and realized I had left all of the pre-stamped and pre-punched sentiments sitting on my table at home.  So most of the ladies received a swap card without a sentiment.

No matter.  I guess now they can choose one of their own to use, right?

I have to say, I really loved 2 of the other ladies' cards (I'll show you theirs tomorrow) but for today, since I need Fast and Fabulous, my quick card from last nights' swap will have to do.

Hope everyone is enjoying a Fabulous Friday.  And yes, I hope it is a Fast one for you.  Fabulous.  And Fast.  Because when it is over, the weekend is finally here!  

Enjoy your day and God Bless you all,   ~Cynthia    <><

Fast and Fabulous Friday - Petal Parade One Last Time

Hello Friends

Doctor appointments for the kids meant my morning ran away from me.  But I finally got around to making a card.  Thank goodness today's card is supposed to be Fast & Fabulous because that is exactly what it is!!

I decided to use Petal Parade one last time and I suspect this is one of the cards we will be making Sunday when I run my Last Chance for Sale-A-Bration class.  If you have not gotten everything you want from SAB yet, then this is your chance to make some cards (8 of them) just for putting in a Sale-A-Bration order!

At any rate, today's card is Petal Parade done in Silver and Cherry Cobbler.  I've been using predominantly pastel colours for this set up until now but I really like the way this card pops, don't you?

After I run some errands, I will try to post another of Sunday's class cards so you can see what we will be doing.  Trust me, everything that is being offered for Sale-A-Bration this year is gorgeous and you will definitely want to own all of them.  So contact me for details about Sunday's class or check it out here - and RSVP to let me know you would like to join us.

We'd certainly love to have you!

Until then, have a fantastic day and God Bless,    ~Cynthia   <><
