I get to share Not Quite Navy with you today. Blues have always been my favorite colors and I think this is the perfect blue so I was disappointed to see it on the list. It just pairs so well with so many different colors. For the hop, I have paired it with some of the other departing colors.
I have always thought Not Quite Navy and Riding Hood Red paired with Very Vanilla were the perfect colors for an Americana feeling. And that is what I was going for in this patriotic salute to the USA:
Next to Not Quite Navy, More Mustard is the other color I will miss the most. I love this color for fall, but it also pairs well with Lucky Limeade and Not Quite Navy for a masculine Thank You card:
This weekend's free shipping promotion is a great time to stock up on Not Quite Navy and all the other retiring colors. If you come back on Wednesday, I will have one more Not Quite Navy project to share with you. Now you can hope on over to Holly's Rubber Redneck blog to see some More Mustard projects. Happy Hopping!

Aww, beautiful picture of your boys. What great projects! I really love NQN, and that one is hard to swallow. I think of it as an great muted color for Americana, like your first project.
Ha, I went back and read again... you said that too! :)
Love the Americana card! NQN has always made me think of denim (another American thing, lol). I will miss it!
Adorable page of the boys, too. They are just so adorable. You can tell them I said "handsome", they might not appreciate adorable ;)
That American flag is amazing Paula, and the page with the boys is awesome. I'll miss NQN.

Squeeee!!! I adore your Americana card. Makes me want to sing God Bless America, lol. Never would have dreamed of the color combo on the TY card, but it really works! And sorry, I can't get past looking a your cute kids' faces to comment on the SB page. They just make my whole face smile. :)
Paula, Love your projects. American card is my fav.
