Good morning, crafty chicks!
I have had an awesome morning so far and it's only 11 AM! I woke up this morning WAYYYY too early for a weekend and figured I could take a few quiet minutes at the computer to *plan* my day around the challenges. I sat down, clicked over to Sketch Saturday to see what they have for us (I'll use their sketch later today) and discovered that I had won their goodies from last week! How cool is that? Wanna see what I won???
I am so SUPER EXCITED!!! I LOVE that Kraftin' Kimmie stamp and those bunnies are going to made cute Easter cards. Let me tell you, that sure got my mojo flowing this morning.
I've been wanting to to the Play Date Cafe's new color challenge for a couple of days but haven't had much time so I thought I'd tackle it first. I love the colors inspired by the photo: black, white and a splash of teal...
They said we could use any shade of teal we wanted so I went to my drawer and pulled out some Cool Caribbean from a few years ago. I had been over to been over to the Makeup 4 the Weekend Challenge earlier this morning and saw their inspiration picture for their challenge and I knew I could combine this challenge with the Play Date cafe challenge.
I decided to use the butterflies in the picture as my inspiration for the image I chose to use. I popped over to Friday Sketchers to see what I missed yesterday and discovered:
Another square card. . . I'm starting to like square cards. . .

OH YEAH - another super awesome thing I figured out this morning???? I made my OWN WATERMARK - - all by myself! For some of you out there this probably isn't a big deal but it's huge for me. I would *really* like to include a dragonfly somewhere on it but for now, text is just fine! LOL
Enjoy your Saturday!
