Summer of color catch-up

Hi friends,

Well I got rather behind on the Summer of Color so I have been busy this week catching up! I missed the first week because of my accident, but went ahead and made a matchbox for it tonight. The colors were aqua, yellow, and a splash of hot pink:

I also missed weeks 4 which was pink, apple green, and a smudge of dark green:

and week 5 which was red, royal blue, and a pop of light blue:



I hope you all enjoyed my series of matchboxes! I enjoyed making them. Now I need to find a way to display them! Any ideas? 

Have a blessed evening,
Becky

Summer of color week 6



So the final week of Summer of color has come again :( I am always so sad when it ends, but I look forward to next year! So many great artistic talents again this year. Make sure you check them out over at Kristin's blog! I got behind and did 4 this week including this one I just did for the last prompt which was raspberry, tangerine and a little bit of lemon. Hope you have enjoyed my matchboxes - I think I'm addicted :) I am going to do another post with pictures of the other matchboxes in just a minute!

God Bless, 
Becky

Summer of Color Week 3

Hey Friends,

Busy busy busy this weekend crafting for my exchange partner for Scrapbook Friends and More Crafts, my favorite FB crafting group, but I did get a little matchbox made for Kristin's Summer of Color party :) This week the color prompt was gray, lavender and a splash or pop of plum - love this color palette! This little box did not turn out quite the way I envisioned, but I still like it., The paper I covered the box with is from Heartfelt Creations. I dotted the centers of the little lavender flowers with plum marker, wrapped with lavender ribbon and made the little stick pin to stick in. The "drawer pull" to open the box is a plum colored bead. Not a lot of work on this one, but my creative juices are not flowing as quickly as I'd like at the moment.

I hope everyone has a blessed weekend and upcoming week!

Much love,
Becky

Summer of Color week 2

Hey Friends,

Well, I missed SOC week 1 as I kind of got run over by a car last Friday and was not really up to doing much but lying in bed :) I'm on the mend though, a little better every day. It was a scary ordeal but could have been much worse. Anyway, here is what I did for SOC week 2.

The color palette was coral and teal with a splash of white. This is a small matchbox. I am right-handed and my right shoulder got pretty badly banged up and contused in the accident and still hurts in some positions so I could not do something as ambitious as I might have. Or maybe I will just do this for each week, a kind of little masterpiece :) Who knows...  Hope you enjoy. Make sure you go visit http://www.twinkletwinklelikeastar.blogspot.com to check out what everybody else has been working on! I have been checking everybody's entries and they are amazing. Unfortunately I can't post on all of them as typing tends to make my shoulder ache. But I promise you won't be disappointed. 

Much love, 
Becky

Hello again and Summer of Color 2014

So Friends, it has been forever once again. I just can't seem to make myself sit down and blog. I really hope you are all doing well. Can't remember if I've mentioned my new job - not so new now, about 18 months - working for some veterinary pathologists. Our website is at animalreferencepathology.com and I LOVE my job!!!

I've been busy with lots of crafty stuff, mostly paper crafts. Will try to post some pictures soon. I've been playing with a FB group called Scrapbook Friends and More Crafts and they keep me busy and entertained. Lots of fun with game nights, challenges, swaps and exchanges.

Now, on to the reason I am actually blogging today lol. It is almost time for Summer of Color 2014! This is the 4th year that Kristin has hosted this party and it is so much fun! I made it all the way thru the first year, but the second year and last year I kinda flaked after the first couple of weeks. Hoping to not do that this year. Click on the link at the right and you can find out more about it. I've not done much painting lately and I really am itching to so will probably do some painting, maybe some altered canvas, maybe some cards... who knows? But the color prompts are always fun and the people who join in are entertaining and besides you get to see a lot of amazing projects! So, come play with us.

Take care Friends and I will post some pics of my SOC projects for sure and hopefully some other stuff too when I can get the chance.

Much Love and Blessings to you all,
Becky
