It has been a rough few days here on the blog.  I know photos have been loading slowly and there are lots of broken links/pictures.  Typepad (the blogging platform I use) is working on it and hopefully all will be fixed soon.  

Today is Thursday which means it is time for the Create with Connie & Mary Challenge.  This week the challenge is a color combination.

Look familiar?  It is the same palette I used for last week sketch challenge.  In fact I am using the same paper from the Fitting Florets DSP.  

The layout is also similar except I used the one of the oval frames from the Framed Florets dies instead of circles.  The Balmy Blue pumpkin and pretty flowers are from the Hello Harvest bundle and colored using Stampin' Blends.   I think this cheery color combination makes the pumpkin image more of a year round one vs just for the fall.  What do you think?  

The little banner is from the Stylish Shapes dies.  The sentiment is from the Through It Together stamp set.  This stamp set has 21 little sentiments which are full of good thoughts and encouragement.  I reach for it often.   The little Night of Navy gem is from the Solid Faceted Gems.  The gems come in 6 colors-Balmy Blue, Night of Navy, Petal Pink, Melon Mambo, Pool Party and Mossy Meadow. There are 30 gems in each color, 15 of each in 2 sizes.  The Polished Pink ribbon is the 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon and it is one of my favorite ribbons.  I love the colors it comes in (2021-23 In Colors) and it is so easy to tie a bow.

Thank you for stopping by and be sure to check out what the rest of the Create with Connie & Mary design team made for the challenge,
