Monday Mania Color Challenge

Hello! First, I want to say I am so sorry about the title of my post this weekend! I wasn't trying to play a joke or be funny - it never occurred to me that by making my title "Saying Goodbye with a Sketch" anyone would think I was saying good bye to blogging or card-making! My mind didn't even go there!
My card today is a birthday card for my daughter's friend, and I used the color challenge over at Club Anya and Friends Monday Mania for inspiration! The Monday Mania challenge this week is brought to us by Michey Moo and it is to use the colors Olive, Kraft, Khaki and Sand. I think I got them all in there! This one scared me a little because I usually like brighter, more saturated colors, but I am really happy with the end result! Great color combo Michey Moo!

The Details:
Stamps: Oliver and Amelia Buddies, sentiment from Oliver and Amelia Happy Day - both The Greeting Farm
Paper: DCWV (dots), Retired SU (olive print). Old Olive, River Rock, Kraft (all SU), White (Paper Trey Ink)

Have a wonderful day!

Monday Mania ABC

Hi! How are you today? Pretty good here after a lovely weekend! My family and I went to see How to Train Your Dragon and it was a fun, sweet movie! Definitely one we will want to buy when it comes out! The main dragon reminded me and my DD of our kitty, Zora. Speaking of my DD - I decided the other day that she really needed some bookmarks. This was really brought home to me yesterday when I walked into the kitchen and saw her book on the counter. I picked it up to bring it to her and a steak knife fell out and hit me in the foot! She had apparently walked into the kitchen reading her book and when she had to set it down for something she picked up the nearest thing to mark her place! So, when I found out that the Club Anya Monday Mania challenge today was to make anything but a card, I decided to make her a couple of bookmarks with Oliver and Amelia!
