ooops!

Just noticed that #6 challenge was for many shades of yellow and here I am now already asking for yellow again. Sorry . . . . I’ll blame it on sun deprivation - today another gray drizzly day - and trust that those of you who are sporting lovely tans and sunbleached hair will forgive my forgetfulness!

Brought my Copics into the living room with me tonight and had every intention of doing a mega sesson of coloring but instead have been poking about and visitng some fabulous card making / scrapbooking blogs. Not particularly productive - but oh so much fun! Thank you all for sharing.

Happy Birthday to me! What a great day! We had sunshine - I can hardly believe it! A balmy ten degrees and we’re rolling up the shirt sleeves, throwing aside the jackets and rolling out the barbecue. Never mind that the rest of Canada is basking in temperatures two to three times greater! The dandelions are popping up everywhere. Gotta love those sunny little flowers. They are so so hardy - as are we! Bet my bottom dollar everyone at work tomorrow will be talking about what a beautiful day Sunday was. Yep! Like I said, a balmy plus ten. We are so so easy to please . . .

In addition to having a delicious barbecued supper and a CHOCOLATE birthday cake - a real treat as all my crowd like everything and anything but chocolate -  I got to have the family here to share it with me. Preparation time - 0; clean up time - 0. I love the whole being pampered thing. If it wasn’t for getting older, I’d have a birthday EVERY day. The boys gave me a whole bunch of scrapbooking stuff: two Cricut cartridges, stamps, paper, containers. Such fun! Will play with those goodies later this week as I work with my yellow scraps.

Yes, the challenge this week is to use a little yellow - a little splash of sunshine. Next Sunday we’ll draw one name for a bit of blog candy apropo to the occassion.

So get to work on those layouts, cards, ATCs, or 3D projects. Can’t wait to see them! You have until Sunday, June 6th to leave a link to your creation  using the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this post. Mr. Linky will close on that date.

It’s probably a little late for posting a card for the Mojo Monday challenge on Sunday evening but here goes anyway . . .

I was quite pleased with what I did with this week’s sketch.

Used Newton once again. Found him a couple weeks back at http://www.newtons-law.com/colouring and colored him up with my Copics. Inside I’ve stamped Congratulations. On the outside, It’s your day is part of a Stampin’ Up birthday sentiment.  The pink and pale yellow cardstock, as well as the pink patterned paper are all Stampin’ Up products. This card can be used to recognize any accomplishment - girly girl of course. I think it’s darling. And don’t you just love it when you have just the right size envelope?
