Prettie Green Wednesday
Wow am I late today!! Summer is in full swing and I cannot seem to keep up - anyone else feel like that?!! It has been sooooo hot here the last several days - like high 80's or low 90's and very high humidity, bleeecckkk! We spent several hours yesterday at the lake - it was so nice in the water! Today we stayed home and tried to keep cool - not working so far! :)
Anyway, enough of the chatter . . . two weeks ago Christie challenged us to make a green & white card. She gave us this pretty picture as inspiration for her color choice.
I got out my Simply Special set (from Paper Pretties of course) and paper pieced the watering can with some pretty Scenic Route paper. When I put it all together it just looked a little plain - it needed another color to make it "pop." So I chose black. This card is on it's way to Danielle - hope she likes it! :)
Are you keeping track of the challenges? Last week I challenged the Prettie Girls to take an ordinary household disposable (i.e. trash) item and repurpose it. I can't wait to see what the Pretties come up with!! This week it's Charmaine's turn to challenge us, I haven't checked yet so I can't wait to see what it is!
Have a great night everyone - thanks for visiting!! :)

ReplyDeleteHi Julie,
ReplyDeletewhat a great card you've made.
I love green, but when I'm cardmaking I use it so very little.
I saw your daughter has a blog too. There's a challengeblog for kids. Mayby she would like to join in. New challenge up today (About 1 pm English time).
