Better late than never!

This is what happens when you add odd things to my morning routine, something gets forgotten :*{ Enough pity party (I suck and I apologize), I have a sketch challenge for ya! Its a lil different than my usual I think and I think that made it tough on everyone. Take a look...


Our Dollies took charge and give it a go!





And I worked hard at getting together another Trifecta to inspire you! You can see our color combo from this week and my interpretation on the walk in the park theme were in my pics then I put my own spin on the sketch.


Show me what YOU've got this week! Either RAWK the Trifecta (by Sunday April 18 @ midnight EST) or give the sketch a whirl (by Friday *bonus day for my screw up!* April 23 @ midnight EST). Link us up!

Let's Take a Walk in the Park...

Have YOU been experiencing the beautiful weather we've been blessed with here in Northern NJ? We even had a few "summer" days last week, where the temperature got as high as 91 degrees!! We're back into spring now, with nice, 60 to 70 degree breezy days... and high pollen counts... and sneezy noses! :) BUT I'll take a sneezy nose over a winter-induced cold ANYDAY!


SO, this week's Element's Challenge is for YOU to take a walk in the park... you can interpret this creatively, but NOT too loosely.... Here's some inspiration to give you an idea of what we're thinking...


Our Fabby GDT Lizzie used colors found during a walk in the park:

While Dana scrapped a gorgeous page showing her DD walking through a State Park

And I (Adina Medina) created another Shower thank you card with a nature scene inspired by a Walk in the ParkAnd there you have it Dollies... You have until Midnight on April 20th to upload your Walk inspired projects via Mr. Linky to be included for THIS fabby prize:
