Creative Combination

The card I created today is using colors that are not my "go-to" colors. I knew I wanted to use the retiring Floral District DSP and had a sketch in mind, but was a little stuck on what 

complimentary color to use. The Creative Coach (120148) came to my rescue! 

I wasn't all that sure how much I liked the combination they offered, but after the card was completed, I really liked it. As you can see from the picture above, they also suggest Basic Gray. This happens to be one of my favorite colors and I'm going to work up a card in the

 near future using that combination. Stay tuned!

* Just a side note on this ribbon. I just love it. It is so easy to work with and the bows you tie with it are so easy and hold their "bowness". Well, maybe that's not a word, but I like it!

AND MY GUEST ARTIST IS?

Today I'm excited about my posted card and my Guest Designer, Danielle Rusher.

 Danielle, my youngest daughter, came to visit from North Carolina yesterday. 

Today was going to be a beach day, but the weather seemed a 

little cool for the NC girl and I here in S.California.

It sounded like a perfect day to be CRAFTY.

 After looking over my previous cards, she chose this layout and I think 

she did a wonderful job with her color choices and her execution, don't you?

Maybe even some time to do some crafting with your children or grandchildren.
