Happy Birthday

Good Morning.  I hope everyone had a nice long weekend.  I did.  The weather was perfect.  Dry and in the 70's.  I did some shopping Sunday with my sisters and my niece at a nice seaside town called Newburyport.  It has small shops with something for everyone.  Saturday and Monday I relaxed and did some stamping.   My idea of a perfect weekend!!! 

Today is the Going Grey with Scrap-Creations challenge.  The theme today is to make a Children's themed card.  How easy is that!   We have a wonderful sponsor this week too!    The Wild Flower Patch Shop  ! So I say pull out those children stamps and play.  You can win!!

We have some other exciting news at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations. We have 2 new DT's.  Kristine Breach and  Marie Bridgema.    Please visit them and give them a warm welcome.  We are excited to have them as part of our team.  

The Wild Flower Patch Shop were nice enough to offer the DT's some images to pick from and I picked this clown.  I thought this would be fun to color and it was!  I also used my new Pearl Pens from Viva.  I love these.  I have 2 colors and now I want them all.  It is so easy to make pearls of any size and I love my pearls!!!  I didn't have the red so I used my white pen and colored them with copics.  I was so excited that it worked.

You should also check out the work from our other DT's listed on my sidebar.   You can see their wonderful work with the other images.
