Reverse Confetti July Color Challenge and The Cutting Edge Challenge #5

IMG_5755


A card for the July Reverse Confetti Color Challenge and the Cutting Edge Challenge #5!




I absolutely love this colour combination.  I am really excited to share my new friend with you, I think that IT going to be a bestie! My tripod!  We have had our tripod as long as the camera, maybe longer. My father in law passed it on to us and I have never taken the time to learn how to use it.  I hear all the time what a difference it makes.  Although I don't think my photos were horrible, what they lacked was clarity. I am going to have to continue to work with it, but I think I am on to something.

What do you think, do you use a tripod?

I am also submitting this to The Cutting Edge Challenge #5.  I was drawn to the summertime theme of Melania's card and her fresh and clean card design--lots of white space.

On the weekend my husband and I tried out our new Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker. He has wanted it for some time and when I saw it on sale last week for a great price I decided to pick it up.  Definitely going to be some fun!  Here is our first attempt at Margarittas, just traditional lime this time--Yum!

Happy Birthday Darnell!

Happy Birthday to my dear friend both on and off of blogland Darnell!
You are just the sweetest and true person who is adored by so many!

If I was in high school again I would wish to sit at the cool table with the popular girl at school Miss Darnell!  I was so happy when Blogger introduced the 'jump to comment' button because my poor scrolling finger would get so tired traveling to the bottom--LOL

Darnell is always there to leave sweet and thoughtful comments on everyone's blogs and she has so often been there for me off camera to check in and see how I am doing and to let me know that if I ever need anything to let her know.  She is a rare gem who always has a laugh for us on her blog and I am so truly thankful to be able to call you--friend!

Bev and Ardyth organized a birthday blog hop for Darnell and Bev is hosting the party HERE and Ardyth is hosting the link up HERE which is staying open for two weeks!  Now since Bev more than covered the cakes for Darnell, I am setting out a tray of Birthday Cake Martini's!  Enjoy your blog hop Darnell and all of the love that is being sent your way!

I used inspiration from The Cutting Edge Challenge #1 for my card. I chose a die cut popsicle and large speech bubble inspired by the large star and sentiment die cuts from the inspiration photo. I also used the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch #82 when creating Darnell's card.
