Hello and welcome in !
It's time for another beautiful color challenge over at
This week, we are using focusing on 'natural' colors with
Cappuccino . . . Slate . . . Burlap
I took a little walk down memory lane as I created this card.
When I was growing up, my dad owned his own fence company.
I can barely remember a time when he wasn't putting in fences
somewhere. In fact, I am fairly certain I can still remember
all the steps to installing a chain link fence !
This was beFORE computers, so my dad would hand-write all of his
estimates & bills of sale. These stamps from Jenni Bowlin Studio
{this week's sponsor} were just perfect to re-create what I
used to see on his office desk.
I used this week's colors by creating an 'inked' border and underneath
that, I used the 'Notebook Edge' punch from EK Success.
On top of that, a little 'Charcoal' baker's twine from The Twinery.
The ledger cover has was over-stamped onto washi tape from MME.
On the ledger sheets, I wrote in a few of the entries I would
see on his sheets, such as the cost of materials, labor & estimates.
I thought it would be fun to include the birth dates of
my daughter Mallory (1984) and son Alex (1988)
as the due dates for payments/discounts.
We had a lot of fun this week creating projects using stamp sets from
Jenni Bowlin Studio. They are this week's sponsor of the challenge.
We have a super surprise for you over there as well !
A variety of the JBS Design Team have joined in the inspiration
and have created some of the most beautiful projects
to inspire you to play this week.
I'm so glad you could stop by !
Please say hello before you go : )
