Quick Card and Embellish Challenge

Howdy Friends!!  Today is a beauty of a day outside and I plan on enjoying some of it!!  First, though I wanted to share a quick card I made last night.  I received a package in the mail from a message board friend filled with all kinds of eye candy!  One particular piece of paper sang out to me - make me into a card, pronto!!  So of course I had to listen and create!  This card came together very quickly using items that came from my mail package and a couple of pieces from my stash. 

Now, here is the interesting thing!  I had been planning on submitting to the color challenge for Embellish Magazine and realized that I had used all of the colors totally by accident (except for the green, but that was an easy fix!).  I plan on making some 'sweets' to give as a gift this Christmas to one of the teachers at my daughter's school, and thought this card would fit perfectly with it.  So, this card is my submission for that challenge - nothing like multi-tasking is there? :O)

I hope you enjoy this super 'sweet' card!

Supplies:

All scraps from my scrappy mail package/personal stash

Good morning friends!!  I've got several 'to do' items this week before we get into Thanksgiving next week, so hopefully I'll be able to share several of them before the kids are off!  Today I am sharing my entry for the Embellish Magazine challenge.  Using the color swatches below, we had to decorate a bag. 

Easy breazy - so I hope that you will play too and share your creations.  Here is the bag I came up with and I will be giving it to a dear friend for her birthday!
