Dawn's Color Challenge - Inauguration!

The guests left! Phew! Just kidding! We had a great time. 

We did quite a few fun things, like going to the beach, to the Country Fair, to Houston...and having great talks. My friends are smart, you know :-)  

I did peek once or twice in my craft room hoping to have time to make a card soon! That time has come today! I was pleasantly surprised to see that Dawn McVey, whose blog I check everyday, has started a Color Challenge! 

I played along and I decided to make something nice for out new neighbors, pastor Cedric and his wife Naysha. They invited over for dinner last night. We had an amazing King Ranch Chicken Casserole and a delicious salad with avocado and strawberries. I am usually reserved with "strangers", but Cedric's enthusiasm infected us! We laughed so hard I was afraid the other neighbors are gonna come over with complaints! 

I made a card with a Bible verse on it and I transformed an Altoid tin box into a favor container. 

Materials I used:

~ Cardstock: I honestly don't know. I bought this HUGE box of cardstock at a garage sale. (pretty amazing thing this garage sale. I got a ton of cardstock and patterned paper);

~ Paper: Stampin' Up! - Delicate Dots Collection; Anne Griffin;  

~ Ribbon: "Garage Sale" Collection :-) 

~ Pink accent button- from my husband's grandma;

~ Stamps: Psalm 37:4 - Stampabilities;

~ Ink: Brown - Stampabilities;

~ Corner Adorner from Fiskar;
