Celebrate

Hi there!

I will be short and sweet here today - its Friday night as I write this and Bill's waiting to watch a movie with me. A relaxing night in is just what the doctor ordered. I've got a combo challenge for you today - this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge and the Play Date Cafe color challenge. Let's take a look at our challenges, shall we?

We've got another sketch challenge this week from Belinda.

And a festive color story!

Here's my card:

I used Bitty Banners to put together my card. I stamped each banner twice and snipped out the centers to layer for multiple colors. The sentiment is from Asian Gardens Additions.

If you're not into sending cards for Independence Day, it would also be perfect for a birthday near the 4th!

We hope you'll play along with us this week - head to the Waltzingmouse Stamps Sketch Challenge Blog to link up your creation. In addition to the Top Mice awards, a free stamp set is awarded each week to a random player!

Have a great day!

Anya
