Color Challenge

So, I haven't done any of Kristina Werner's color challenges for a very long time. I have hardly scrapbooked all summer long, mostly because I've been using my creative time with Photoshop, instead of with paper. Anyway, I needed a card for a bridal shower the other day and this challenge last week really caught my eye, so I decided to give it a try. Anyway, I haven't quite decided if I like it or not, but I do really like the colors.

A few mini-cards

I made these a few months ago when we had lots of friends having babies and I needed some little cards to go with their gifts. If anyone knows how to tie a perfect bow, I would love to know that secret because my bows look a little crazy (see top picture).

Ranch Pictures

I took these pictures a couple of weeks ago when I went to visit my parents. They live on a small cattle ranch in Colorado. I think it is a beautiful place, especially when there is actually enough water to keep the fields this green.
