4CCC-92 {Crazy Egg}

Welcome back!  Thanks to everyone who played along with Lori's color combo last week - the entries were beautiful and the other Chicks and I really enjoyed seeing what you created using her combination.

This week's 4 Crafty Chicks' Challenge is the fifth one of the month and you know what that means - it's a CRAZY EGG challenge!  For this challenge we want you to "Branch Out" - use branches or trees in your creation.  Leanne is offering up a nice, little prize package so for all the details, make sure you stop over at the 4 Crafty Chicks' blog.

When I went to make my card I realized that I didn't have very many stamps that fit this theme.  Oh, sure, I have my old stand-by, "Lovely as a Tree", but I just wasn't *feeling* that stamp set when I sat down to create.  So, over to the paper stack I went in search of something that might fit the bill.  I came across a new Basic Grey 6x6 pad that hadn't been opened yet, "Konnichiwa."  It has some great colors and a distinct Japanese theme... lots of fun to work with.

I used a sketch from the RetroSketches Challenge and flipped it upside down to create this fun, little card:

Thanks for stopping by today.  This time of the year is a hard time to be inside when all you want to do is play outside!  I know my kids are counting down the days until school's out for the summer.  Actually, I am too - it's time for some sun.  :)  Enjoy your weekend - it's finally June.  See you next week.
