Kwerner Color Challenge #22

I'm loving a little bit of sparkle and glam. I've used these rhinestones in my last card as well. I think they add such detail. This was a very interesting challenge. I'm not a big fan of Bravo Burgundy, but I think it turned out quite nice. I would love to hear what ya'll think.

On another note, I want to honor those who lost their lives on 9-11-01. My husband and I went to NY the last week in August and were able to visit the memorial they have made to all of the individuals across the street from Ground Zero. It was such a heartbreaking experience to read testimonials of those who lost someone they love. On one of the walls I read a short clip and I can't remember the exact words, but it went something like this..."Name? was such a fun loving guy, last week was his birthday, he would have been...he was my husband...I love him and miss him so much." The tears started flowing after I read this dear wife's message honoring her husband whom she misses so much. I can't imagine the pain that these individuals went through in losing their lives and the family's agony of loss. I have a new appreciation for all people involved on what was such a horrific day. My heart goes out to you and I Will Never Forget 9-11!

KWerner's Color Inspiration #21

What a long, short week. Back to school, back to work, soccer practice, cub scouts and much more. Nothing like getting right back into things after a long vacation.

Here’s a card that I made last night. I wish I could get my coloring just right in the 1st photo.

I used Kristina’s colors for this week, #21. Pacific blue, kiwi, regal rose, rose red, and white. I had to substitute Tempting Turquoise and Old Olive because I haven't gotten the new In Colors yet! This was a fun color combination challenge. As always I usually revert to less color and more white. All products are SU except the rhinestones from Doodlebug.

Hope you enjoy this one!
