MMM 2 Red Bananas Sketch


Happy Presidents day! The kids are not very happy they don't have school today. I can only pray they still think that in a few years. lol We have some fun things happening over at the House Mouse and Friends blog. First we have 3 new guest designers who are joining us. YEA!!! Patricia, Jami and Heather. Welcome all of you. I am so excited for you girls!
Secondly we have a sponser this week its 2 red bananas and they gave us a sketch to use this week. So that is your challenge a sketch. You can find the other DT cards here and play along with us. Make sure you leave us a post to find your creations.
I had trouble with this card. My coluzzle broke so a circle was hard to come up with. I ended up using a scallop punch I have. Then I just couldn't pull it together like I wanted. But alas... here it is. I love these fancy brads I got from Close To my Heart. Okay off to play with the kids. Have a wonderful day!

I SOO love the color combo here and the simple backgrounds, but not... kwim? It really adds a lot to your image! That blue just pops your main focus of the image!! LOVE your card!!

Love the colors you chose and how you made the image pop by using the same colors as the background on white. Lovely card.

I just want to squeel when I see your adorable HM cards....those little fellas are just the cutest evah!!! This turned out gorgeous with your beautiful coloring and all the awesome extras!!!

I'm sorry that your Coluzzle broke...that's always an unnerving distraction (when our tools give out on us!)...but, the good news is...

THIS IS MY FAVORITE today! Beautiful coloring on this...you made those little House Mouse guys come to life and that great texturing with the EB! (Now, I need to buy that EB folder LOL!...seriously!) I think this card is just darlin' and if it needs a home, I can email you my address! LOL Just kidding! Love this little card to pieces!
