Work before play

Late post again, sorry. Had to do all of my house work before I even touched the computer today! Poor neglected house... :( But all the chores are done now, so I can share with you what I finished up the other night (after I watched a 2yr old for 8+ hours *eek!*).

This card is for this week's Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #37 which says "Pink it up!". I have my "new" Eva BG dp to play with that was perfect for the pink challenge. I say new loosely since it's an older pack that I just recently purchased. There's this Etsy seller who sells 1/2 packs of 6x6 packs. Totally perfect for me since I tend to get tired of a pack before I can use it all. I bought 3 other 1/2 packs too. I thought Charlotte looked like she wanted to play with this card and layout, plus she's fun to color. I even outlined her in my RV00 to give her that much more pinkness!

I also tried to follow this week's Sketch Saturday #111, but I had to tweak it to work with the size of my image.


I also bring to you today a picture of my roses that finally decided to bloom! I swear the buds have been teasing me for about two months now. This was a rose from my Grandmother's house. She LOVED roses and had a large rose garden. When she passed, all I requested to have was one of her roses. Peach and pink where her favorite colors. Grandma says "hello" to me every year through this rose. Love you Grandma!
