Top Three picks for sketch 224!

Wow, had a great busy week but a fun one too!  We are so close to finishing off the school year and that always means extra volunteer time.  Only 5 full days and 3 half days left!  This year went really fast--next year my son moves on to Middle School!  Scar--for me anyway, lol!

Anyway on to the top three from last week's sketch....as always these are in no particular order and all of them are only little snippets of the card--please click on each image to see the whole card-and leave a nice comment for the creator!

LNS-color challenge!

What a fabulous day today was! So nice outside, not too hot but sunny with a slight breeze! Spent the day at my son's school for their field days, his last one as he is moving up to middle school next year.

This week on the Latenightstamper's group we were given a color challenge to work with--Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasabi. So yes, we are talking bright and cheery colors! Love this. I chose to stick with the Betsy's Blossom stamp set since it is still on my work table. I am after all a very lazy stamper, lol!

 

Stamps: Betsy's Blossoms, Memorable Moments

Paper: Mellon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasibi, Whisper White

Ink: Mellon mambo, Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasabi

Other: circle punch, lg scallop circle punch, Mellon Mambo dotted ribbon, rhinestone

Happy Wednesday!
