Just For You - Curtain Call #24


Happy Easter everyone and welcome to another Curtain Call!  This week's colors *really* gave me trouble - I guess that's why it's called a *challenge*, right?  ;)


Isn't that little eggie-tree cute?  I really do like the colors but just couldn't put them together to make them work.  Or maybe it was because I've used a LOT of these particular colors lately....?  Whatever the reason was, I had to file one card under "G" before I settled for this one:


No sketch challenge, just me trying to get it done as quickly and simply as possible.  I recently got this cool stamp set from Verve - Petals and Stems - kind of like "Build-a-Flower."  The petals, stems and flower centres are all separate so you can mix and match as needed.  There are also a couple cute, little butterflies in the set...  :)

I sure hope the rest of the Crew had an easier time with these colors than I did - make sure you stop in to give them some love:



I've been trying to get everything in "order" around here before my eldest and I leave for Europe on the 12th - London, Paris, Florence and Rome over the course of 10 days - so please accept my apologies for the short post. 

Enjoy the rest of your Easter weekend - enjoy your family and the time spent together!  See you next week.  :)
