Blogger’s challenge Friday……Traveling

May 15th, 2008

The end of the week is here, thank goodness! So that means it’s Friday and blogger’s challenge day! This week’s challenge was a sketch challenge, which I find the most difficult. I hope I didn’t break any challenge rules by changing things a little because I just can’t stick to a sketch as it’s given!

I had to use my new MFT set “Going Places”:

traveling

Do you like the map? Notice how everything is green except Mexico, lol?! I guess my map is before global warming, at least that’s the story I’m sticking with! I also wanted to make it worn looking so I put some brown shading around the edges. I just imagined this gal as a jet setting model with her LV suitcase pulling out her map wondering where she is today. She’s obviously looking at Europe on the back.

The flowers are some more new Prima flowers from Jacksonbelle. These are from the artful collage assortment and there are super cool patterns and prints on them. Plus the package is cute sitting on my shelf!  

We have our last parent coaching appointment on Monday and then more testing and onto the home ABA therapy. I can’t believe it’s almost time to start and I’m so happy to get on with it! Tomorrow night Ava and I are having another sleepover slumber party only this week we are making cupcakes! She’s just so cute how excited she is to stay up late baking and playing games with mom.

Happy Friday!

Details:

Stamps: Going Places- My favorite things
CS: cocoa, barely blue-SU cosmo cricket DP
Ink: adirondack, tea stain, antique linen
Accessories: copics, ribbon, black brads, Primas from Jacksonbelle

    I love your challenge card. Your coloring is fabulous, and there is so much humor in your card. I figured she had to be a blond since the map was backward. Great job!

    Love your elegant take on this stamp set. Most I’ve seen are really cute, but I love how you’ve stepped it up a notch!! Great flowers! I can’t wait to use mine. Now if I can just get off of this computer…
