Take-Off Tuesday # 24

My Serena and Lily catalog showed up in the mail yesterday just in time for TOT! There are a few new things in there that I found really fun. Here is today's picture. Some really hip wood grain and great colors:

Here is my take:
It's pretty straight forward to the inspiration. I used the wood grain stamp from Cosmo Cricket and stamped repeatedly for the background.  I loved the orange in the picture, but for some reason its really freaking me out on this card, or maybe it's the blue. I just can't tell.

Thank you for all your sweet and concerning comments yesterday for my little "Motrin Drinker." He really is fine although he napped really well (long and hard!) so maybe it did affect him some. Things are much calmer today. However, Ronin (4yr old) came into our room in the middle of the night. Since he is sick we put him in a makeshift bed on the floor. At some point he spilled the cup of water from the nightstand all over himself. So needless to say, he was crabby and awake, as was I. It's raining again today which always puts a damper on my spirits. It's taken me a while to get motivated this morning, and I am not sure that I am fully functioning yet. I venture to say I will only hit 70% productivity today. But at least that gives me room for improvement tomorrow!

Thanks for visiting today. You make me smile ; )

Take-Off Tuesday #19

I got this new catalog in the mail this week. If you haven't checked out the lovelies at Serena & Lily, you are in for quite a treat.  This is the add I picked:
I adore this! I love the colors, but also the fine print on the sheets, the bold square and that map on the wall! OY!! I just love it. Here is my take on this inspiration:Using some more of my new stuff from Rubber Soul. This cute little giraffe was actually a freebie they sent with my order. Just a little extra love from them to make my day. Thanks Rubber Soul! They are really great and such nice people at Customer Service. (um.. I think I have said this all before ; )

For Christmas I ordered a bunch of PTI Night Sky Shimmer Cardstock for the cards that I actually never got around to sending out *gasp*. But they fit this project perfectly. Up close it really adds some depth to the Fresh Snow ink. You can't tell from the photo, but I popped up the giraffe with thick pop dots to bring it out a bit. I love this image and sentiment. SO much fun to stamp!
I also thought this giraffe went quite well with that map and safari feel of this room. And that was a happy accident!
So thats it for today! Please know you are welcome to play along anytime with Take-Off Tuesday. If something here inspires you, make a card/altered item and leave me a link in the comments. I would love to see what you make!!
Thanks for stopping by today. Be sure to check back tomorrow. It's my day over at 365 Cards!
toodles~
