First,
many thanks for all of the sweet messages yesterday with having my son come
home! He made it home safe and sound but is naturally very tired from the
journey!
I
simply love this sentiment as it hits the nail on the head! Laughing to me is
one of the best things to do and trust me, I seem to laugh at the silliest and
strangest things!
Today’s
post is what I am going to call….Tips on Tuesday and the focus today is going
to be with a tool in the catalog that I think is a “sleeper” to many of us…it
is the Color Coach!
I
ask you…how many of you have the Color Coach and then the next question is…how
many of you use the Color Coach! For just $14.95, this gem will be a “big
helper” to you when you are just having a tough time deciding on a color
scheme!
Today’s
card I knew I wanted to use the Calypso Coral (a color for some reason that I
forget about) and I went to the Color Coach and it is paired up with Chocolate
Chip and Wild Wasabi! I know that I would not have picked this combination but
I love it!
Take a minute and watch this great video from my wonderful upline, Mary Fish. This video shares with you the simplicity of why this is a great tool! I personally love the fact that you have a substantial size of the color swatch to play around with!
I
encourage you to try it…and if you have not purchased it yet and what to shoot
me an email with some certain colors – I’ll be glad to email you the color
choices the recommend and you can give it a whirl! Better yet, click here and you can order it from me today!
The
sentiment comes from the Stamp Set, Feels Good. I use this set quite often, as
the sentiments are great! I matted it on a piece of Wild Wasabi that I used the
Big Shot along with the Chalk Talk Framelits.
The best thing about the new 3/4" Chevron Ribbon is….you
can "play" around with it so much to get the look and feel you are
going after! A simple "Susan knot" did the trick for me today and the
array of colors it comes in is wonderful!
Confessing time….just as I was finished my card….I spilled something on my card and I was super bummed….then I thought – I simply do not have time to re-do this….then the light bulb came on…put a flower over it -out came the Boho Blossom Punch for a quick fix that actually worked in my favor!
I knew that I wanted to use this super fun designer paper, I Am Me, as I just love the polka dots and what better way to tie the card and envelope together! These colors and textures are fun!
I hope you have enjoyed today's post and I hope that you can have some laughter in your day! Laughing keeps us young at heart and I am convinced it also keeps you positive!
Enjoy the day and until tomorrow!
Sue nice card. No need to confess! You would NEVER have known the flowers were a cover up. The candy dots match the polka dots so much too. Ha. Ha. Have a great day.
I have the color coach and use it regularly, it is so helpful when you are looking for something different or in my case out of my comfort zone LOL. This is a wonderful card, Susan, and laughing has always been my best medicine:)
Hah! I have had to cover a few “oops” issues as well. Thanks for sharing! Beautiful card and thanks for the shout out!
I don’t have the color coach, but after watching Mary’s video, I will have to add this to my WANT list. Would sure help me when I am trying to decide which color papers to put together-one of my “least favorite” part of making a card. I spend so much time trying to get the paper colors – that I could have made 2 cards with the time it took to get the Card stock picked.
Thanks for sharing.
Is it just my view, or is your header showing February and the old SU catalog? Hope it’s mine only, cause you may be missing orders. You are such a talented card creator. Bring on the videos!
