this weeks color throwdown...

Happy Thursday!
I hope you are having a great day so far! I am so ready for my day off tomorrow!! I have a to-do list a mile long and just cannot seem to make any progress on it *argh!*

I did make a couple of cards yesterday, but was feeling very uninspired...so when I was doing my daily blog check I saw Tracy's blog with this week's color throwdown (Pumpkin Pie/Cool Caribbean/Barely Banana). I have to admit, when I saw this color scheme I had my doubts, but it does look really nice together...so fresh! There isn't much stamping involved, but I really like the simplicity of it;D

I also got Lesson 3 completed and posted in the class gallery...whew! that felt good. I am learning so much about my camera! So Fun! I am hoping it will become easier the more I do it, because it takes me a few minutes to meter and get the settings right before snapping a picture. Luckily my family is pretty patient with me! I have been taking pictures of things around the house...this is my cookie jar that houses my favorite WW snack...Tootsie Rolls (9 rolls = 2pts).
Have a super day! Thanks for stopping by!!

Supplies used (SU! unless noted): Polka Dot Bkgrd/Papertray (PTI) stamp sets; Pumpkin Pie/Barely Banana/Cool Caribbean cardstock; Pumpkin Pie/Cool Caribbean ink; Felt Accent Flowers/Ice Brad; Orange Stripped Ribbon
