During that bit of time I had on Wednesday I made this card for a friend's birthday. I used the colours from ColourQ and, because the sentiment and image are Unity, I'm going to play along with Friends With Flair. Arielle's colours made me think of candy and I found these sweet lollipops (from Unity's July '09 KOM) which I paper pieced and covered with Glossy Accents The painting is going well. The bedroom is finished and the Craft Cave is 1/4 done. I actually managed to empty it pretty quickly and didn't stop to make a single card! I did get involved in sorting my scrap bin but that really needed to be done... At this rate I'll be on track for getting back in there on Sunday! Whoop whoop! Thank you, my wonderful hubby!

This is so pleasing to the eyes, Jen! I love the layering and your take on colors! AWESOME!
Fantastic card and such a great take on the color challenge!
Great card. Love the colors.
Great design! Love the colours.
Oops, should have read this post first. Glad you are getting something accomplished! Your card is so sweet (pun intended) with the sweet colors.
I love this, those KOTMs really are fabulous!
Sweet card!
Oh, Jen, I love this!! I couldn't decide how to use these colours (so haven't joined in the challenge!), but I LOVE how you've used Pear Pizzazz as the main colour. The lollipops are gorgeous. Wow - you and hubby have achieved heaps with your painting. I'm impressed that you didn't get sidetracked in the craft cave!
This is so cute and FUN!!
eeeek. how super adorable and sweet!!!
This appeals to my sweet tooth! Love it!
Lovely card, Jen!! Love the cute design. Hope the reorganisation of your Craft Cave goes well.
Sweet design! Love that subtle bg and the sentiment banner is rad!
Omgosh, cleaned out, painted, moved back in by Sunday? The discipline! I couldn't do it. Good for you!
Love these cute lollipops :) Happy Easter!
Such a sweet card, Jen, your lolly pops are awesome, love how you used the colors. You will need something sweet when you get finished painting, been there done that recently! Thanks for joining us this week at the ColourQ. Happy Easter!
It's all going to be worth it! I emptied my corner a few years back for new carpet and I worked extra hard getting it back. You know how as your collection grows, it takes on a life of its own and gets a little out of control?! By taking it all out and putting it all back it's a chance to be organized like never before!
Love those lollipop images!
Glad that the painting is going well! I'm going to start singing Lollipop, Lollipop, Oh...this card is to cute!
