My Ila Card

Yesterday was a day I ran back and forth from Ave's crib to various points around the house where I started many chores but finished very few (esp. since Ave was not willing to sleep much!). I thought that maybe I would try to color an image or two in the kitchen while I held the fort. So, in my optimistic fashion, I started on this Magnolia (an IRAK). I just colored her with no real plan in mind...and yesterday, all I finished was her hair and her shoes...ha!

Anyhoo, I visited Ila's Magnolia blog today and saw that she posted a sketch challenge. I thought "Why not?". Of course, my style and Ila's are very different so this was a challenge for me (I even pulled out primas!). I kept adding stuff until I thought I was done. It may be a long time before I go this route again. Some people have a knack with layers, embellies and esp. these Magnolias but I am not one of those people! But, it was fun, and that's all that matters right?

Positive note of the day: Ave had a wicked nap this afternoon (with some cajoling). And Charlotte was dressed like this...too funny!
