Thank goodness for long weekends!

Wow how fast time flies by. I was off work early on Thursday & had Friday off, but boy did Monday roll around quickly! It was still so very nice to have a little time off to go play with the family. It's been CRAZY at work for a few months now & I didn't realize just how much I needed to "reset" my attitude. So after I got most of the debris pile (AKA laundry pile!) cleaned up last night I was able to squeeze in a little time at the craft desk, felt really good to exert a little creative energy before bedtime. Here is what I came up with:
A very quick CAS card. I colored the image in w/ some new Bic markers I picked up..I watched a few tutorials on You Tube to get me going in the right direction. Not too bad for a first timer hu?! Little different from the colored pencils I usually use, but I like it.
The image was a freebie a while back at Bugaboo & I LOVE it! SOOOO cute & fun. Of course now that I have found digi-stamping, Bugaboo is one of my favorite sights to stalk. The stamps are a set from The {Stamps} of Life, also one of my fave's!
I am entering on the following challenges:
The Crafty Ho's: use a Digi & regular stamps, plus optional sketch (I did it all!)
Sentimental Sunday: Easter or Spring
Totally Stampalicious: CAS
Going Grey with Scrap Creations: use a digi stamp
Catch the Bug: Easter
