January Choose your Challenge

There are a few blog challenges that have become my favorite. One of them is Freshly Brewed. I do not have many of their digital stamps, so when I saw that the January challenge was choose your challenge, I had to check it out. It runs for the entire month of January, and you have two choices to inspire you, a sketch or a picture. One of my "fun" resolutions this year is to try and participate in more specific challenges, rather than the "anything goes". I like working with new sketches, so I went with sketch 114.

I have been on a Valentine Card day kick, so I thought I would continue down that path. Here is what I came up with.

This image is a favorite of mine and comes from Stampin Up. I found it at a used bookstore called Bookmans for I think $2.00. I haven't used it since Grandparents Day, so I though it was time to give it a little attention.  I colored the image with my Chromatix markers and used paper from the Recollections stack called My Favorite Things. I finished off the card with three pink gems.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

• Ends Jan 31 - Freshly Brewed - Choose your Challenge
• Ends Jan 7 - Loves Rubber Stamps - New Years Resolution - see above in red

Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!
