Celebrate! DD#100 and PP193

April 28, 2014

We had a fabulous weekend with Miss Addison and Miss Victoria!  They are so much fun, but oh, I am one tired Grammy when they go home.  I must admit though, this house is way to quiet without their laughter to fill it!!!!  I am so thankful for the time we share with them.   

It is with a sad heart that I make my last card for The Dynamic Duos Challenge!  This is their 100th Challenge and they are closing the blog.  I have enjoyed their weekly challenges SOOOO much!!!!  I have grown and learned so much from all of their examples and stepped out of the box so many weeks with colors that I would have never used.  A huge THANK you to Lesley and Anne Marie and ALL the past and present Design Team Members!  



I will be using the sketch challenge from The Paper Players for my card.  Their Design Team amazes me every week with their inspiration and ideas.  THANK YOU for all your hard work and dedication to offer the challenges!!!


The Subtle colors this week are so beautiful together.  I hope you will enjoy my card!  

A little bee landed on my card when I took the picture.  He is in the upper left corner.  I thought he liked my card, so I left him in the photo.  LOL!
