Good morning!! This is my second post today...so if you haven't seen my birthday card for Aimes, scroll down :) There's fun over at Kristina's blog this week...another crazy, wild and wonderful colour challenge. One of the strategies I use when juggling so many colours is to pair the colours up....for example, pumpkin pie and ruby red are similar so they would go together...and the blues would go together as well. Then I look around at the ribbon I could use and embellishments. Now, having said all that, it's not a fail safe formula...but it has helped me tame some of these difficult, never-would-have-put-these-together colour combinations :) I wasn't quite satisfied with this first card (below) so I made a second card (above). I like both for different reasons...so here they are :) Okay, today is the LAST staff meeting of the year!!! I think it will be my favourite one :D Have a wonderful day and thanks for visiting :)

Oh how I love your work with orange! So upbeat and cheerful! I may just have to work in the craft room tonight.
Both are fabulous, Maureen! I can't handle making cards with this many colors, but you've done it beautifully...twice! :D
These are both so gorgeous!! Love the graphic nature of the first card & the fabulous blue bow...great takes on the challenge :)
I just love what you did with the colors! This is totally awesome!!
Wow! Love your cards! Great designs and use of the color scheme!
Both cards are lovely, my favorite is the first! Love the clean look! The colors make you want to keep trying again and again!
Congrats on Kristina's Top 10! Love the CAS card.
Congrats on making top 10!
Great cards :) Congrats on making top ten! I actually like the 2nd one even better than the first.
LOVE how you used the colors, on that first card, they were just meant to be together! That little notebook looking paper on the second one is adorable!
I love both of them!! And thanks for the tip about combining many colors at a time :)
Ooops! And congrats on the top 10 too ;)
Like both your cards. Really love the arrangement of the first one and how you used the graphic designs in such a striking manner. Great job!
