It has been a perfect day! I got to play tennis this morning and then I finally met my neighbor and found out she LOVES Stampin' Up! and used to be a demonstrator in Florida! I call those God moments when something so fabulous happens to you. We are so busy sometimes that we never stop to recognize the blessings all around us!
The colors for the Colour Me Color Challenge are very subtle this week. Soft Sky, Primrose Petals and Early Expresso make a beautiful soft palette. The TechnoStamper (Try Stamping On Tuesday) sketch challenge was perfect for my card today. I really like the You're Amazing Stamp Set and it is on the retired list for this year. I have never used the hot air balloons and decided it was a good time to show them some love. I created my background paper with watercolor paper and sponged Soft Sky to create the cloudy look. I hope you enjoy my card today!

Well, I made it through the 18 holes of golf~~~~ that is all I can say! I had such a FANTASTIC time with my girlfriends and we sure had A LOT of laughs! I don't think any of us are going on the tour soon!
Today I had to wait for a handy man, so it is the perfect time to sneak into my craft room. The Freshly Made Sketches Challenge is fantastic this week. Oh, there are so many ways to go with this sketch. Since the Memorial Day Weekend is upon us, I decided to go with a Patriotic card. I have this bright, cheery paper from Doddlebug Designs and decided I would put it to good use. I hope you will enjoy my card! It was really fun to make!
I
feel like this card can be used for graduation, birthday or just to send a holiday note to a friend!
