I LOVE to travel. I love seeing new things, meeting new people, learning about new cultures, etc, etc. So this week's challenge is an interesting one...
It's all about TRAVEL this week! So fun! Now...technically the challenge is about modes of transportation. But for me...traveling is all about you attitude. And these challenges are suppose to be inspiration for you to get creative. :-) So...I did. Hee. See...when I travel I love to talk to locals of wherever I am... and some people think I ask them too many questions. But truly...I'm so interested in how things "work" wherever I am...I just want to know it all! I truly travel with my heart. And leave a part of my heart there. So...that was where I went with this challenge...
(Plus...I am a sunshine girl and much prefer being somewhere sunny and warm.)
The sentiment on this card: "Wherever you go, GO with all your heart" is truly what I try to live by when I travel. This world is a big amazing place and I love seeing it!
Colors: Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White Cardstock/Papers: Whisper White, Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo yardsticks Stamps: Wherever You Go Tools: Big Shot, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Sparkle Embossing Folder, 1 1/2" Circle Punch Accessories: Linen Thread, Delicate White Doilies, Rhinestones
What do you think? HOW do you travel? I can't wait to see what you do with this challenge!
***TIP*** To get this two-toned image on the sunburst stamp, I first inked up with my lightest color--Daffodil Delight. Then I just lightly tapped just the edges of the stamp into my next color ink--Calypso Coral. Easy peasy. :-)

Who is ready for another fun challenge??!?! SO HOPE you will play along this week! It is COLOR CHALLENGE TIME!!!! ...
I always love color challenges because color is always the first thing I decide on for a project. So first step DONE right from the get go! :-)
Here is my challenge project!!!! ...
I was in the mood for a fun little treat that I could pass out. This was such a quick and easy project!!!
Colors: Soft Sky, Peekaboo Peach, Early Espresso Cardstock/Papers: Soft Sky, Whisper White, Early Espresso Stamps: Wood Words, Hardwood Tools: Big Shot, Wood Crate Framelits, Classic Label Punch, Scalloped Tag Topper Accessories: Peekaboo Peach Baker's Twine, 3"x6" Gusseted Cello Bags
First I just stamped the Hardwood Stamp onto Early Espresso cardstock. Then cut out two of the box shaped framelits, adhered them together, added some chocolate to the 3" x 6" Gusseted Cello Bag, then made my tag. Easy, breezy!!!
Yet who wouldn't feel all cheery to get such a fun and sweet gift?! :-) Here's a view from the backside...
