Thanks for hanging in there and sending such sweet emails. I know that I promised you blog candy yesterday- but honestly, I just went to bed early. Nolan's death has really gotten to me and I just needed some time to myself.
This morning, after I got ready for my workshop (that's today!) I made a set of Thank You notes to donate to Nolan's store. I really hope that you will visit the store- the link is in my last post. The cards are simple. I used my Baroque Motifs set again! The colors are Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, and Certainly Celery. The sentiment is from So Many Sayings in the Sale-a-Bration catalog.
A great big thank you and a hug to my super sweet customers that have been sending me their orders to benefit Nolan's family. Every little bit helps!
And on to the blog candy!!! I am celebrating my 1 year anniversary as an SU demonstrator! I am having a blast! I have met some of the sweetest people! So- this week I am giving away a set of the A Perfect Day Rub-Ons from the Occasions Mini. They are soooo stinkin' cute and would be perfect for summer scrapbook pages and cards! All you have to do to win is leave me a comment on this post telling me a favorite color combo of your's. I am always looking for new color combos and so I want your ideas!
My favorite right now is Pumpkin Pie, Soft Sky, and Wild Wasabi.

The absolute best thing about blogging is that you probaly now have people who didn't even know Nolan, praying for Nolan's family. I have asked God for healing and understanding for your friend.
My favorite color combo right now is pretty in pink, certainly celery, and close to coccoa.

My heart goes out to Nolan's family, if there is any way I can send the family a card, let me know and give me the address. They are in my thoughts.

Right now my favorite color combo is Chocolate Chip, Purely Pomegranate, Pumpkin Pie, Pretty in Pink. It was a color inspiration on Kristina's blog. I'm so in love with these colors.
I favorite color combo right now is chocolate chip and pretty in pink. I like chocolate chip and blue too.
Beautiful cards! I am off to etsy to see if I can buy them. My prayers are with you and Nolan's family.
I like combining regal rose and rose red. You can add bravo burgundy or pretty in pink to the mix, too. Works well when you're using floral sets.

Love chocolate chip and pink, also blues and greens.

My favorite combination is just about any shade of pink with any shade of green. Looks so much like spring--and I like the thoughts of that!
This is my first time leaving a comment on your blog, I love your ideas and your cards, so darling. Little Nolan really touched my heart, I saw that he was born on the same day as my little boy, Jan. 2, mine was born in 2007, so for a long time this morning I was walking around teary eyed . I just felt such empathy for this family, I pray that they will be comforted in their time of need. I am also looking into donating something to try and help them out. My fave color combo right now is Cameo Coral and Old Olive, and the cards I've been using this combo on are usually a tan background. So cute together! Brittney
I can't remember how I came across your blog, but I wanted to comment and let you know that I love your cards! You are SO talented!
Also, I have been praying for and will continue to pray for Nolan's family.
I don't know the Stampin' Up official colors (as I've never used their products), but I am really into the pink and chocolate combo these days! :)

My all time favorite color is pink and I like it with either brown or black! You're in my thoughts. It does get better with time!

What a tragic story for Nolan's family - I am sitting here with tears and I want to do the same as you - go get my babies and squeeze them. I hope that your fundraiser gets lots of money for the family.
My favorite color combo is soft sky, white and chocolate chip. At least, it is today.
I am SO sorry to hear about the loss of your friend's son. My son was in the NICU for nearly 2 weeks with serious complications, and I was just beside myself with the thought that it was a real possibility that I might not ever be able to bring him home. My heart and condolences go out to Nolan's family, and my prayers are with them.
My favorite color combination would be any shade of blue with a subtle yellow.
My sympathies to everyone! God Bless You all. I just used the color combo Rose Red, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, and Pumpkin....absolutely loved the outcome!
I can't even imagine the pain that Nolan's family must be going through. May God bless that family. You have such a good heart - that family is very blessed to have you in their life.
I apologize that I didn't leave my favorite colors. They are aqua, chocolate and cream.
At this moment my favorite colour combination is: bravo burgundy - always artichoke.
Blessings and Peace to Nolan's family. I was so saddened by his story, it makes me so thankful for what I have.
Your card is gorgeous.
Was sorry to read about Nolan. Very sad.
The colors on this card are beautiful! I love new combos too, so here are some of my faves:
olive, sky, teal, lavender
coral, olive, chocolate
red, wasabi, sky
pomegranate, pale plum, pumpkin, black
It is a difficult thing to watch your friends suffer when you can't do anything to "fix it". However, your friendship and generosity towards this family will mean more to them than you will ever realize. In time they will see God's comfort and blessings through friends like you.
One of my favorite combo's is the one I just used for my daughter's birthday invitations, Chocolate Chip, Tempting Turquoise and Lovely Lilac. Her birthday party yesterday and your post today remind me how incredibly thankful I should be each and every day! May bless Nolan's family in ways they could never dream of.
My prayers and thought go out to you and Nolan's family.
my current favorite combe is basic grey, certainly celery, bashful blue and so saffron. i made a submission card with this concoction and I must say...I really liked the combo!
My thoughts and sympathies are with everyone!
My favorite color combo right now is chocolate chip with any of the pinks.
So sorry for your friends lose.
I can only hope she finds peace in the next few days.
My favorite color combo right now is tempting turquoise, old olive, more mustard, accented with kraft paper and the polka dots and paisley DSP from last year. All inking should be done with Whisper White Craft Ink Pad.
Many Blessings for your friend.

Hmmm... a favorite color combo? Oh, dear... there are so many! I think I like Rose Red, Cameo Coral, and Punmpkin Pie right now.
