It's time for another week of the Color Throwdown, and this week our newest member Kimberly Crawford is our hostess! Kim chose a really nice color combo that works great for any Christmas cards you're still working on, but also is great for any other occasions!
I chose to go with a non-Christmas card this week, because to be honest... I'm kinda' tired of making Christmas stuff already! LOL
Be sure to check out what the other Throwdown designers have created for today, and make some time to play along! Also, be sure to check out my Stamp Simply Celebrates blog candy today! If you participate in the Throwdown today, you can earn an extra chance to win the prize!

This is great, Tammy! I love the lined paper for the sentiment and the great felt flower treatment! I think it's so cool that we both used practically the same layout and the same Nesties!!!

This color combination looks amazing. I love it. Really like what you did with the swiss dots piece, the beautiful dp border & the fabulous green nesties cutout. Love it all!
