Sunday Afternoon

It's Sunday and I finally got to spend some time down in the craft room!  Last week was very busy with company and I had performances with The Allegra Singers.  I so love to sing! I live a very charmed life in that I am married to a wonderful man, have an amazing child and get to do things that make my soul happy like scrapbooking and singing! A very charmed life indeed.

Today's little creation was inspired by "Dynamic Duos" Challenge #1!  This is a brand new challenge blog where you create only using the colours they suggest and neutrals.  For the layout I decided to try Freshly Made Sketches #33 where the aim is to keep your project clean-lined and fresh.  I am also submitting this card to CAS-ual Fridays #51 in celebration of their first birthday.


 I used Close To My Heart Pear and Lagoon for the colours and a scrap from my Dotty For You paper package (that wonderful $5 pack of paper is going to be used for a long, long time).  I also used my Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge to cut out the flowers and used the  "Just for You" stamp on them.  I also used the stamp from the "Florentine" Workshop on the go to create the scalloped strip.

    That flower is gorgeous and I love the little button in the center of it! Singing and playing the piano are favorites of mine next to card making, so I can relate to your love for paper crafting and music! :) Thanks for joining us over at Dynamic Duos this week!
