Hitting the Streets: Colors #2 Round-up


This week for our HtS (Hitting the Streets) Color #2 Challenge, we decided to make a giftcard/picture holder. The outside is the decoration and the inside holds the giftcard or pic. Ours held one of our school pictures. The Autumn colors created more of a back to school theme. Also, along with the burnt orange, chocolate brown, and creamy white that we were supposed to use, we added a little splash of silver! Hope you like it:





Enjoy!




Sorry some of the pictures are kind of blurry. That's what happens when you have a 3 mega pixel camera! Yeah, it's old and worth close to nothing, but it's all we've got for now. But not to worry much longer. We're getting a new one soon! (7 mega pixels)
