Capture the Moment....

When I first started blogging and card making, I had a set of appointment challenges that I liked to complete each week, to keep me working, and to challenge me to try new things.  But over the last year or so, I became so busy with DT work, and with my regular day job, that I didn't get to play along in things as often as I would have liked.  

I'm hoping to get more into the routine of regular stamping - though being realistic, that might be a bit difficult with both my kids home for the summer.  It's nice to have a goal though, don'tcha think?

Today I'm playing along in the CR84FN Color Challenge.  This week's colors were yellow, grey and a neutral. That clearly is a color selection that spoke to me.  Grey - check. Yellow - check. Neutral - um, hello my sweet friend kraft.

  

I'm the proud new owner of a Nikon camera. I've been wanting a "big girl camera" for a while now, and it arrived at my house on Mother's Day.  And this past weekend, I took an all day photography course.  Which I pretty much loved.

So, of course, the Behind the Camera stamp set and Die-namics was quite loudly calling my name. And I was only all too happy to oblige.  My little tab cluster was created using the Mix & Match Banners - just a smudge of scallop trim pokes out across the bottom using the Medium Simply Scallops Die-namics.

Pattern papers are from October Afternoon, with this fun piece of grey and ivory polka dot from Dear Lizzie.  This luscious grey satin pleated ribbon is from the Ribbon Carousel.

Here's the link to the CR84FN challenge this week.  I'm already excited to see what colors they'll choose for the next challenge!  How fun!
