I don't have much time today to be in my craft room. We are off to Atlanta (again) to pick up my niece, Sara. She is going to be participating in an internship with Proctor and Gamble this summer. I am so proud of her and it will be wonderful to have her close by. She is such an amazing young woman and I couldn't be prouder of her!
I love the fun sketch that Create With Connie and Mary featured this week. The Design Teams cards were amazing this week! When I first looked at the sketch, I thought, "WOW" there are so many options! I really put some thought into the color choice for my card. I always use the brightest colors on my cards, but for some I was drawn to Primrose Petals and So Saffron. I also pulled out my trusty Gorgeous Grunge stamp set to make my background. I love the way it turned out. I hope you like it, too!
