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!

SSSC 158

Normally I don't make cards that I really really like. This one is different. These bright colors in Summer Smooches is so awesome. I love the brightness and yes, I know I've said that a million times already =)

I used the sketch at Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch....

OWH #119

Here I am a day after oogling over the preview of goodies to come in the new catalog! I got to see some pretty cute stuff, but I know that there's more to come. A perk of being a demo is seeing all the new stuff a month ahead of time!

Here's a card for the OWH #119 sketch challenge. I haven't played along with this one in what seems like forever. I used the Summer Smooches DSP because I love how bright it is!
