Delightful Sketch #5

We got invited to a cookout on Saturday and anyday that i don't have to cook dinner is a great day for me. then we took the girls' swimming yesterday since it was the last day for the pool to be open. so we had a good family weekend. Needless to say i didn't get any crafting done till today.

Winter Wonderland challenge

Hello! This weeks theme at the Winter Wonderland challenge blog was none other than "Winter Wonderland". we are to show a wintery scene on our cards. I went out of the box with my colors but i just felt like doing something a little different. lol. now i don't know if you can tell in the picture but i matted my image onto a brown scallop oval, and it's like brown on brown why? but it looks real neat IRL because it is raised up on pop dots. Now, don't forget to visit the Winter Wonderland blog and help welcome their first Guest Designer Beth and her wonderful interpretation of this week's challenge.
Well i'm off to continue working on more projects. Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a Great night!!
hugs,
Rachel

Well that's it for me today, i hope you all have a wonderful day!!
