You Guessed It, a Challenge and a Snow Day!

I knew it was going to happen. No school again today. It didn't stop snowing until late last night and then the winds picked up. So, there was no way the plows would be able to open all our rural roads. The shoveling we did yesterday? All blown over again. My morning paper was sitting in a two foot drift. Do I sound unhappy? No, I STILL LOVE SNOW DAYS! I guess my attitude would be different if hubby or I had to fight out way to work each day. Thankfully for us, that's not the case.

I have one card, two challenges to share today. A great (but definitely not in my comfort zone) color combo from the gals at Stamping 411.The sketch is from Pals Paper Arts.I used the retired set Unfrogettable. In the end I struggled whether or not to put on the sentiment. In hindsight, I wish I had made it a pull-out. I had already put my dimensionals behind and couldn't make it work. If you're wondering, I really did plan on making the waves "wonky." I have no idea who this card will go to. It would be great for young boys, but in our family, we are stacked with all girls!As I'm looking at this, I really should take all my pictures during the day. Even with the color adjustments I made in Photoshop, the whites just aren't bright enough. Bummer!

I really should get the kids to help start taking down my tree today. I am not motivated AT ALL! I'm having too much fun stamping!

Sweet Sunday Sketch.....Missed It!

Edit to post: I DIDN'T miss the deadline! Karen graciously e-mailed me after I told her of my woes. I simply hadn't scrolled down the page far enough. Embarrassing, but I admit to it!I am so bummed! I missed the deadline for Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch. I had devoted the whole day to doing challenges. I started with hers, but I forgot one crucial thing. Her deadline is noon MT on Thursday. I could have finished this card by then, but I was taking my time....tweeking.I used some really old DP, Dots & Dashes. It's single sided, that tells you it's pretty old! I don't own many alphabet sets so I had to go with what I have, Collage Alphabet. Although, the "H" came from another set. The "H" from Collage Alphabet set is really small, so I substituted. The froggie is from Unfrogettable! I love this little guy. Plus, the way he is cropped, he looks like he's waving, "Hi." It's fitting. Oh, can you tell, it's a window card? So, inside is the rest of Mr. Frog.

So, can you take pity on me for missing the deadline? Show me some love and leave a comment? I'd love to hear what ya think!

And Karen, thanks for the cute sketch!
