Making Lemonade

I found this delightful stamp on a clearance rack and snapped it up.  When I tried stamping with it yesterday, I had a bit of trouble getting a good inking on the cardstock.  So I colored what was good and cut it down.  I'm going to say it gives it an artsy look.  Maybe....

I planned to use the Seize the Birthday sketch and had to rethink how to do that.  But I think I'm still pretty close.  Here's the sketch.  What do you think?

As you can probably tell by the pink, this week we're doing cards for the gals.

There's a prize for the winner.  I sure would love those butterflies!

And a new challenge to me anyway is CAS on Sunday.  This is their 3rd week. The challenge this week is Happy Birthday!  There's a prize at this challenge too.

Have you noticed that there's a lot of CAS challenges now?  I love it!  Just wish I had more time to keep up with them all.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted
