HELLO April and hello April SOTM!   It's time for our CTMH Blog Hop for the new month and April is here.  It's another FUN stamp set you won't want to miss ... especially since Seasonal Expressions Volume II starts tomorrow

Happy

I hope you're having a good week!  I was at a crop and one of the ladies had a "Hello Kitty" cartridge.  I decided to cut some designs just playing around and figured I use them on a card or 2 at a later time.   I found them unpacking my bag and decided this one worked perfectly with this week's Retro Sketch #157. 

Hope you're enjoying the week!

Job Well Done

 
Recently I had the opportunity to attend Senior Night for my BFF daughter at Western Michigan University.   She's been a great cheerleader and school supporter all 4 years she's been there.  Kelsie has worked so hard and I was very proud to be invited to the game to see her get her Senior Plaque.  I was happy for my BFF too as I know she was ecstatic for her. 

I wanted to send her a card and just let her know it was such a great time to watch her succeed and move on for a great career.  "It was a Great Day to be a Bronco!"   Way to go Kels!

My card was inspired by this week's MOJO Monday #389.

Hello, hello!

Well, it's a bittersweet day as I'm in Michigan with my BFF for her daughter's college "Senior Night".   It's the last home basketball game before the MAC Championship, Go Bronco's!  I almost didn't make it here thanks to the most recent "winter blast" that moved across the region.  I'm ready for winter to be done.

It's Friday which means it's time once again to celebrate with our Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #132.   This week we're using Black, White and Whisper.   Let's see the fun stuff you can create with these colors.  This sketch inspiration is from Freshly Made Sketches #174. 

I hope you have time this week to play along!
