Blogger's Challenge & Motivet sketch challenge
Happy Friday and day before 4th of July. Any big plans this weekend? Well, the weather here in New England has been TERRIBLE! I kid you not that it has been raining for the last four weeks. We have seen the sun make 3 days out of the last 30. It is very depressing and my kids are out of the mind with being bored. So, if you have sun where you are PLEASE send some here. Even a glimpse!
Yahooo...two weeks in a row I have been able to participate in Blogger's challenge. This weeks challenge was "Wave the Flag-Red, White and Blue". Well, I did not do a "typical" patriotic card. I wanted to combine this challenge, with The Motivet sketch challenge, and in order to do so, I had to use a Motivet stamp. I chose baseball Dexter and colored him Red, White & Blue, and added some stars. What is better than America's sport "Baseball".
Well, I hope it counts. I had a great time making this card, and coloring this adorable image. Oh, these squirrels are to "die for cute" in my book. If you haven't seen them before, you can check them out here. They just released a bunch of new stamps, and they have some great contests on their blog. Definitely worth a peek!
Well, I am off to take the kids to swim lessons and then who knows what. Work tomorrow and Sunday. Hopefully Weather permitting, Fireworks tomorrow night. Happy 4th of July and have a Fantastic weekend. Happy Creating!
this is great! Baseball definitely hits the summer/4th of July mark! Great job coloring too!
