Peacock & Classic Red with Tofu Chalkboard

Keep track of what needs to be done with a chalkboard.

Sometimes, it's just easier to write it down.

Peacock Rose Thumbtacks

Roses don't always have to be red.

Try a different look with teal instead.

Peacock & Cream Distressed Clothespins

Who would have thought it?

Peacocks and cream do go together :)

Large Ruby Rhinestone Magnets

We can't all afford the real deal, but it doesn't matter.

Because rhinestones sparkle just as fine.

Color Tip #1: Nature

Trying to figure out what colors to surround yourself with?

Look to nature. It's filled with colors that blend well together.

It also brings life, energy & peace. A perfect place to start, don't you think?

Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue . . .

Roses are red, violets are blue . . . a poem that starts with this typically ends with an expression of love. Unless you like to be snarky, but we won't go that route - Ha! If you enjoy giving gifts, let roses & violets inspire you to choose one for your loved one.

Have you already gotten ready for the big LOVE day? If not, now is the time. Please don't be a procrastinator. It's just not the thing to do if you celebrate this day with your love. Otherwise, you end up giving a crappy card, boring box of chocolates, and not-so-fresh flowers.

Blessings and joy, yours truly . . . Corrinne Quinn

My Heart Is Floating In The Cloads

 I absolutely adore this creation of mine! Yes, I'm going to toot my own horn, but I definitely love this card :)

I used lots of my paper scraps, embellishes & die cuts (including handcut felt clouds) that I've been holding on to for . . . well, I don't really know, but I'm glad I waited!

Do you have a project that you absolutely love? I'd love for you to share it with me!

Oh, the beauty of orange!

With such a range of shades, it's definitely a favorite color of mine.

Do you enjoy orange? If not, what color do you like?

{PIN}spirational Challenge #19 - View of Vanity

It's Tuesday - Do you know where your next challenge is? Well, I do . . .

It's at {PIN}spirational Challenges, which always has a new challenge featuring a photo that will inspire you.

Our sponsor is Meljen's Studios for our 19th challenge and they are just lovely! I used a digital stamp from Meljen's Studios for my project, so you can see one of their works in use.

I took inspiration from the bouquet of flowers, creating my own bouquet. Three roses stand tall inside a clear vase decorated by the roses' leaves, ribbon & a charm.

Roses are beautiful flowers and they smell wonderful, but my favorite flowers are actually Dahlias.

What's your favorite flower?

Just For Me (Part Two)

Since I wanted to add a little decor to my cubicle, I decided to make a clothes pin banner to hold photos or possibly little works of art that I'm going to make.

Here is a set of clothes pins that I painted, distressed before adding sparkling ribbon & crisp white roses to it.

Isn't it so shabby chic & fabulous? I love it when my creations turn out so lovely!

I also previously made a matching memo board. Click here to see it.

Do you make your own decorations? What have you made?

Day 68: Roses Are Red

Red mini roses grow happily on my back porch. They are quite easy to care for, too. I don't like plants that needs lots of care. I just don't have the time!

I cut the blooms, hang them upside down & let them dry. I can enjoy them longer & use them in crafts if I want.

They dry to a very dark red, which is just stunning!

I am sharing my roses with you for the 30 Days Of Reflections Photo Challenge. Today's reflection is something red.

Would you like to see my other reflections?

Yes? Oh, how fantastic!
