So today's LPS Challenge is a mix of three colors: kraft, blue and pink...this was harder than I thought!
This is
Katie Whale done up on a
Joy fold card. Couldn't even tell you where the DP comes from since it has been sitting in the ol' stash forever. Seriously, I am spending time this week cleaning up my paper...I must!
So are you curious what the rest of the DT with these colors (I am!)? Head on over to the
LPS blog!
Positive note of the day: Well, due to changing economic circumstances, we are listing this house this week. We are all moving in together to ease the challenges of showing a house with three little kids. The house is my in-laws old house which is on the end of a cul-de-sac. All three kids love this area so much since they can play out front without cars zooming by. Moreover, there are a ton of kids that live close. For T especially, this is not only ideal but necessary (at seven, that boy needs to be run!). He plays hockey for hours but also finds other things to do with his friends. Charlotte plays cheerleader (despite the chill in the air this week, she wore her bathing suit all weekend) but does take part in the various activities (I think she really does live and breathe the moniker of "Julie, your cruise director" that I have given her).
Don't know any more about what will happen but am taking it moment to moment and day to day. And, should you have anything negative to share, don't bother. I am already stressed enough (eczema breakout) and really don't need to hear it...
ETA: I am overall positive about the move. We have done a great deal to improve the whole situation (just in case this reads negative...it shouldn't). However, change is a challenge and moving ain't no picnic.
Today's LPS challenge is a sketch...my fav kinda challenge. Since a lot of my stamps were still boxed up, I elected to use a stamp set I could find! I brought out one of LPS' first sets: {The Hunter}. I haven't figured out whether this will be a birthday card (my dad is coming out this week so I may give it to him as a long-belated one) or as a Father's Day card. I mixed some Soft Suede DP with some Basic Grey Mellow (such an odd pattern on this paper but it went well here). I gave up on adding a sentiment and just added some cheapy brads instead (which just happen to match the Soft Suede...what luck!).
