A new Challenge!

Time for a new Challenge! This one is from Mojo Monday. It's a fun blog with lots of sketch ideas. The theme, and color scheme are open. I'm headed downstairs to my craft cave right NOW to work on it! What will I come up with? What would you do? I'd love to see your designs. Send me an email with a pic!

Here's what I came up with. It turned out so much better than what I had pictured in my head. I just LOVE it when that happens!

Monthly Card Swap {April} Challenge

Each lady gets to choose a design idea for one month. This month's challenge has been created by my friend Erica. She has chosen the following:

Color Combination:

The Stampin' Up! colors that I am taking from this are:

Lucky Limeade, Tempting Turquoise, Night of Navy, Basic Grey, Sahara Sand

or

Lucky Limeade, Baja Breeze, Night of Navy, Basic Grey and Wisteria Wonder

Here is what I came up with. I liked it when I first completed it. I'm  not so much a fan now that I had to turn it in. All I see is room for improvement. LOTS of improvement. Oh well, on to the next!
