New Challenge Blogs

 First, Happy Mother's Day to all the Mommies out there! I got woken up to my annual breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast with jelly. The kids love it and so do I. Then I got to see the gifts they made at school that they've been wanting to tell me about for a week =)

So onto the card. I've found a couple new challenge blogs and so that's the inspiration for todays card. There is a new Dynamic Duos color challenge blog in which you only use 2 colors and can add only neutral colors to it. Very "up my alley". I was late this week but I'm ready challenge #2 already! Freshly Made Sketches has been around awhile but this is the first time I've played along because the sketches I usually play with didn't hit me with inspiration this week. You know, gotta spice it up every once in a while!

Here's the card.....

 

















 If your a mom I hope you have a very enjoyable day! And even if your not....still have an enjoyable day!

New Challenge

I stumbled across a new (to me) sketch challenge website Freshly Made Sketches! I like their cleanliness of the sketch and lots of room for layers. This weeks sketch challenge #19 can be found HERE and here's my take on it.....




I used some new (free) brads out of the Sale-A-Bration stuff. I also embossed the birdcage to make it stand out a little from the norm. Since I had some blank space I decided to add 3 of the other birds standing on each others heads =)

I've got to find a place for my 6 1/2 foot giraffe today...more on that later =) Happy Sunday everyone!

All supplies SU!
