My aversion to the color purple

Is there a color you almost never use? For me, the color is purple. I just don't gravitate towards that color. Ever. One of my friends at work needed a birthday card, and she wanted it to be purple. Oooookaayyy, I thought, now what. Luckily, I had found some American Crafts ribbon on clearance and I had some purple in my stash (hey- just because I never use the color doesn't mean I am not LOADED with supplies in the color!). So this is what I came up with. I love the cuttlebug for texturizing cardstock. This particular folder looks great for a wedding card as well. Needless to say, my friend loved the card and I made a few more of these to keep in my stash.

What's the color you are least likely to use? Maybe it's time to challenge yourself!

Where have I been?

So although I have posted several times I have been on vacation! My parents own these two cottages just over the Wisconsin border in the Upper Pennisula. We have had them for almost twenty years, so I have lots of memories of this place and the area surrounding it. The weather was great, the bugs were terrible (my little guy got so bitten up at night when he was sleeping it looks like he got chicken pox). Now I am back to reality and back to blogging....

I had to make a card for my MIL's bday that is coming up this weekend, so I employed some assistance from my little guy...the rest was easy, just some cardstock and ribbon! Off to see what I have missed in the blog world this week!
