This is my first time hosting a challenge as part of the Just Us Girls design team and this week is a sketch challenge. I hope you will find the time to play along with us this week!
I seem to be on a Magnolia kick lately. I have a bunch of images already colored because sometimes all I feel like doing is just coloring! LOL!! It helps me wind down from a busy day at work and doesn't involve to much thinking! And...seeing I'm starting my vacation I was swamped at work trying to squeeze everyone in before I left I didn't have much time to create. So thankfully I had a few images to fall back on! Summers are just to busy! But I'm not complaining I like it that way! It will not be long the kids will all be grown and gone! Sigh! I have a hard time believing my oldest will be heading off to college in just a couple of weeks from now!
Anywhoo! Here is my card which is pretty basic and true to the sketch. I hope you have fun with it and I can't wait to see every ones take on it! I just LOVE what the design team has done with the sketch!!!
Be sure and stop by their blogs for more inspiration and give a warm
welcome to our August guest designer Jo Westfoot.

Kahryn, I'm so with you - coloring is completely therapeutic! I don't have any Maggies yet but I think I'll soon get some - they are so perfect to color :) You have colored our wonderfully! I love how you've cut her out so she looks as if she's almost looking out a window with her flowers! Gorgeous card girl! Wonderful sketch too! Great job :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely sweet card, great image! Your coloring is wonderful fabulous job!!
ReplyDeleteAwe! So cute Kathryn! Great job coloring that sweet image :) Yep, you really have to enjoy your babies while they are young - I hope you have a great weekend with them! Love the sketch - hope to play along ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Kathryn! Love your card! Your coloring is awesome and your color combination on the card is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this Kathryn. It's true to the sketch but SO much more! Wonderfully colored - I like the idea of coloring images ahead - good one. Thanks for hostessing and for providing such a good sketch for us. ENjoy your time - yes they grow all too quickly.
ReplyDeleteSweet card!!! My one and only went off to college last year for the first time. It was an adjustment for sure, but after that, my husband and I have so enjoyed the time together.
ReplyDeleteOh my...your oldest is already leaving the nest? So sad to think...mine will follow next summer :[ I can't even imagine.
ReplyDeleteLove your card and how beautifully you colored the sweet Magnolia image. Very clever to have it partially overlap the rectangle...nice touch (that I always forget to do!). Love your color palette also :]
Thanks for the warm welcome! Love the card, esp the way the flowers overlap. Cool ribbon.
ReplyDeleteKathryn - OMG! This is SUCH a fun card! Can I just saw how clever you are! I just love how your sweet image and her roses are popping right out of the frame! {I ALWAYS swoon over that look and NEVER think to do it!} Your color work is smashing! What a fun and inspiring piece! Wahoooo!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card...You did a beautiful job with the roses... :)
