A week or so ago I saw the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and picked out my stamps (Send Me Soaring by SU), paper, etc. and created this card. I never got it posted to go in the challenge there but thought I'd show it to you now. What was really funny about the whole thing though is that I completed my entire card and then was scooting around my Google Reader to see all the wonderful inspiration and came across a card that Anne Marie had done that was almost exactly like mine!! She did hers in different colors but other than that, they could almost be twins! Check out Anne Marie's blog to see what I'm talking about!
I'll enter this in this challenges at Scrappy Frogs (Seeing Spots), Stamptacular Sunday (Cute as a Button), Simply Create Too (Spring), 2 Sisters Challenge (Spots n Dots), and Pile it On (Up in the Air).
Hope everyone has a great week...........and thanks for stopping by........

Lynn, What a fun card. Your twine matches the orange in your kite perfectly. Great sky. Love that designer paper also. I'm glad your "back" but I hope you enjoyed your company and I'm also glad you found more challenges to enter this fantastic card into. Have a great week.

Love the card, Lynn! There's an old saying about house guests -- "After 3 days, both fish and guests smell the same." lol
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Love the bright, fun colors and the clouds in the background.
ReplyDeleteI love the fabulous kites Lynn and your cloudy sky is beautifully done! The twine and button embellishment is perfect too.
ReplyDeleteWow sounds like you had a busy weekend! I like company, but it is always nice to have my house and routine back. This card is too cute with the kites and the buttons, so perfect and colorful.
ReplyDeleteLove this card! The kites are such wonderful spring colors and the twine and button really balance the card and look wonderful with the paper as well!
ReplyDeleteAs I was reading about your guests, I was reminded of the saying about fish and house guests and then saw Nana Connie had the same thought! Too funny!
How cute! This is one of my fave DSP from SU - should have grabbed some more when they sold it :) FUN, FUN card!! Super whimsical and so bright and happy!
ReplyDeleteI loved this sketch and didn't have a chance to play. I'm glad you did. This is so Springy and fun! I can almost hear the wind blowing....

Ok my gal pal, I think I saw a card like this too! I have a question? Are the kites digi stamps and did you cut out the tail of the kite?
ReplyDeleteChriss
Ooooh, I love the kites, Lynn...you have used such fun and happy colors and the polka dot paper is just perfect!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis card puts you in the happy place... makes me think of a warm, sunny day where you lay on your back on the softest grass ever and just watch the sky. Peaceful and pretty!
