Welcome to Monday – Hello Friends.  Hope everyone is safe and cozy this morning.  The snow was coming down pretty hard late yesterday afternoon.  I'm not sure how much we got but it was enough for me.  Today's card is the 411 Sketch Challenge from Gretchon.  I used Melon Mambo, Basic Black and Whisper White with an ancient of Old Olive Ribbon.  I like the color combo, it's bright and cheerie.  Supply List below.  Stamp Set is Eastern Influences (111628).  I colored my image with Primsa Color Pencils and Gamosol.  TIP:  The best stumps to use are from Taiwan.  They do a great job of blending.  I used a combo of pinks and greens.  The sentiment is from Best Yet (Retired).  I love to use the saying Just Because.  It sounds so friendly to me.  I started making a new Big Shot Tote today, had it all together and then took it all apart again.  Decided to do it a different way.  So that's my task for today, putting my tote back together again.  Just like Humpty Dumpty.  LOL  It was just that kind of a day.  It seemed everything just wasn't working right.  I'm sure you have those kind of days too.  Don't you?  Thanks or stopping by and I'll see you back here tomorrow.  Stamp club is this week and I need to cut up some paper.  Toodles
