Color Challenge

Another one for Stars and Stamps' color challenge - the object of this one was to create a card using your favorite color! I must admit that this is way too hard for me - I love so many different colors - we could be here forever! I love jewel tones the best. Ruby red, emerald green, sapphire blue. . . but I do love blue and one of my favorites to work with is a pretty denim blue. Richard's grandma, Miss Bonnie, also loves blue. "Bonnie Blue" she says they used to call her. Somehow, that makes me smile. :)  I made this card for her in what I think might be "bonnie blue" and it will be for her Mothers' Day tomorrow - we're glad that she has stuck around for another Mother's Day - we will go visit her tomorrow and have cheesecake. Blueberry, maybe. :)

I can't take credit for the layout on this one - it's similar to one found in the new idea book I got from CTMH that is called "Wishes" - an awesome book by the way. . . and the patterned paper and stamps (except for the letter stamps) are also by CTMH. I'm still playing with all of my new goodies and loving every minute of it!

Happy Mother's Day to all of my Mom friends out there - hope that your day is as special as you are! Thanks for stopping by!
