Kid Taxi Day

Here is my card for the "Color Me Monday" Challenge I'm participating in. I was thinking I should glitz it up a bit more, but decided to leave it as it is.

I had such a good time using these colors, selecting a stamp set and then selecting the card size and layouts. So much freedom!

I challenged myself to do it again this week, using the colors from Jeannettes Blog post from 3/15. This weeks colors are Chocolate, Goldrush, New England Ivy and Sweet Leaf.


Today is a day devoted to acting as Taxi driver for my daughter. Doctors appointment, testing center, and dance studio. It doesn't sound like much, but none of these places is near our home, and none of them are really very close to each other. In between, I'm trying to take care of the little errands I would normally use my lunch break to accomplish.






I dream of the days when everywhere I needed to go was easily reached on foot!

Wow! It has been almost a year since I started the blog, and this is only my second post. Its time to start again.

I went to United Kingdom for work the end of February, and had a fabulous time. I loved the environment in the office, and I loved being able to get around on my own. I worked hard and still had time for some sight seeing. Best of all, I got to spend some time with my cousin and her family. I feel very fortunate. Now I need to figure out how I can bring the experiences I enjoyed so much back into my home.

This week, I'm going to design a card using Jeanette Lynton's Color Me Monday color scheme. I like to take on tasks like this because it is fun to stretch my creative talents by using color schemes I wouldn't choose on my own. Check out Jeanette's Blog to see this weeks colors and give it a try. The colors are going to be great in my cards. Hopefully, I will have one to post here sometime this week.
