Happy Tuesday!

    
Since I'm still being a lazy pregnant lady, I used my leisure time to stamp again today.  :)    I did manage to fit a bit of laundry in there too, so at least I feel a bit productive.   Growing a baby is hard work though, right?!   I decided to combine two fun challenges today, the awesome sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday with the awesome colors from colourQ.   While I did order a few more new stamp sets, right now I'm enjoying the two I do have.  So...it's Happy Hour again today!
Don't you just love this stamp set?   It's just so fun and perfect for summer cards!  I added a few more new goodies to this card too, the Finishing Touches Edgelits and the Chevron embossing folder.   I think it turned out great considering I struggled a bit with all the layers.  Cheers!

Stamps:  Happy Hour
Ink:  Bashful Blue, Night of Navy, Marina Mist, Lucky Limeade
Paper:  Marina Mist, Lucky Limeade, Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Night of Navy DSP (misc. retired), 2011-2013 In Color DSP stack

Fabulous card, Rita, I love that olive and what a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday, hopefully with friends! Yes, growing a baby is hard work, but just the beginning! Hope you have a wonderful pregnancy! Thanks for joining us with your awesome card this week at the ColourQ.

Such a fun way to use those colors---I would not have thought to use them, but of course, you ROCKED the color challenge! I got that EF but haven't opened it yet...in fact I have a whole box of goodies I haven't used yet! Not enough hours in the day! Hope you're resting up! Thanks for playing with the CQC this week!
