Hi there!
I was happy dancin' when I saw my name on the Fab 4 for Play Date Cafe Challenge #51!!! I seriously did not think I'd do well with the challenge when I first saw the colors. I tend to go for the brighter colors, but a challenge it was and I was happy to stretch myself and learn with the process. So, I thank the Play Date Cafe Challenge designers for such inspiration with this great challenge and choosing me as one of the Fab 4...THANK YOU!!! You all take care and have a great day!!!

Good Afternoon!
Hope all is going well with you! I thought it was a good time to finish and post this card for the challenge over at Play Date Cafe. The colors they come up with for the challenges are so fun fun fun!!! The construction workers are paving our road in front of our house today. So, I have a barking dog. He's a German shepherd who loves to be protective, which is a good thing, I guess...hehehee. A good way to get away from the noise was to close my door to craft room, turn music up, and stamp away!!! I looked through some of my Christmas stamp stash and saw this cute angel from Hero Arts. She looks a bit like me don't ya think? Ok ok...I mean if i would have given her brown hair...no??:-) Well, I hope you are having a great day in your corner of the world! Thanks for taking a peek...take care!

The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC 49
Happy October!
Hope you are having a great weekend! I made this card for the challenge at Play Date Cafe. Stop on over 'cause the challenge this week involves gorgeous colors!!!
It's a chilly one here with gray skies and rain. We went to a bday party this afternoon. The Ohio State game was on and they won...yeah...go Bucks! So, my husband was a happy man...hehehe. I should have said ok let's go craft shopping now. :-) But, we went pumpkin shopping instead. Fall colors on the leaves and pumpkins here and there. It's a lovely time of year! Ok, about my card here, I struggled a little with it and ended up with what you see. The picture could be better, but got it later this afternoon without sun. Maybe the sun will come out tomorrow...la la la...hehehe. OK ok...I know...I'll stop 'cause I can't sing! :-)) Take care and have a great weekend!
