LET THE SUN SHINE! — Today’s challenge is all about the color YELLOW. Yellow is a very much underutilized color in my stamp room and it is SO sunny and cheerful. So today let’s LET THE SUN SHINE by incorporating as much yellow as we can into our projects. That’s it — no other rules — let’s just see some sunshiny yellow creations!

A yellow and simply stamped creation! A simple, easy and fun birthday card with a bit of POP!!! That fun DP is a pad I picked up at Michaels — Que Sera Sera by K & Co. The birthday sentiment is one of the soon to be shipped items by JustRite, shipping on 5/10. It’s called Birthday Wishes Set and has 6 fun birthday borders and centers. It fits on the new 2 3/8″ Wood Stamper. I just simply stamped mine and matted it with Nestabilities. My card is a standard size with the sentiment mounted a bit above. The Fuchsia Silk is from my Stamp Simply Ribbon Store, and it’s just knotted, nothing fancy!

    Hi Sharon, I loved doing this challenge. I love the color yellow and rarely use it. I think this photo of Emily was the perfect one for this challenge.
