Saturday Morning Frustration..and a Posse challenge!

Happy Saturday to you! I have been sick all week and I am still not better. I think it's just a summer cold, but it's kicking my tail! I hate to be sick, but even moreso on the weekends. It just stinks!

Well, as some of you know, I joined a new blog group called the Papertrey Posse. I am so excited to be a part of a group. It should be so much fun. We have split the hostess duties amongst ourselves and Jessica  has June. We have to post one big challenge and then two (optional) smaller ones. Jessica chose to do a color challenge with Enchanted Evening, Summer Sunrise, and Terracotta Tile for the first small one and let me just tell you - these colors were almost the death of me. I guess that's what makes them *challenges*. Ha! I just could not wrap my head around them..they're not colors I would normally put together and I did not have ANY of the colors in PTI ink. I ended up using SU inks as replacements, but the paper and stamps are all papertrey. I also decided to use a set that I rarely use even though I love it - Chairished. It's a cute little set, but I don't ever seem to reach for it. It's kinda like Scattered Showers in that way. It was the first set I wanted, but I don't think I have used it even once on a card. At least with Chairished, I have used it..lol. Oh well! Anyway, so here is the card:

It was a super fun card once I got started. I love the *retro* look I achieved by offsetting the circles. It makes me think of the 70's. Ok, well..I hope you'll take a look at our master blog and play along with some of our challenges!

Oh, and you're probably wondering why I titled this post the way I did. Let me tell you about that. A couple of weeks ago I was reading a post from Jessica about this photo light tent thing that she had bought on Amazon. I've always wanted one, and she got hers at a great price, so I decided to buy it. It showed up a couple of days ago and this morning after I finished my card I decided to set it up. One thing, though - there were no instructions. Ugh! There is a little card inside that says to go to the website and/or YouTube to see directions, but I never found any for this particular product. Now, maybe it's because i'm sick but I got so ultra mad trying to figure out what I was supposed to be doing. I just about threw the whole thing across the room..lol...um, ok actually there was no "lol" when I was setting the dang thing up! So eventually, I decided to go back to my normal "formal dining room table" set up that I usually do. Maybe i'll try again later. Better yet, maybe i'll wait till hubby gets home from drill and make HIM set it up! :o)
