Made by Momo's Tuesday Challenge #4

I'd like to brag a little bit. I mean, I'm a proud Mommy and I'm entitled to brag about my kids, right?

My oldest daughter is a freshman in high school. I can hardly believe that time is going by so fast and my babies are growning up. She runs on the Varsity Girls track team at her school, and is on the 4x100m relay team (she runs 3rd leg, around the end). This year they qualified in the regionals to advance onto CIF preliminaries. This past saturday we (me and my 3 babies) went to CIF prelims to watch her team run. There were schools from all over San Diego county there. They ran with a time of about 51 seconds (I don't remember the exact time). Even though they weren't in the top 9 to advance onto the Finals, I am extremely proud of her. She got her Varsity letter and was also named "Rookie of the Year"!!!

Here is a picture of the relay team and their coach. (I'd post a picture from the banquet, but she'd probably be mad at me. There's a "boy" in the picture with her.)


And now onto my card I made for the challenge. Momo ( http://madebymomo.blogspot.com/2010/05/tusday-challenge-4.html ) is hosting a color challenge. The challenge is to make a card using the colors turquoise-blue, orange, and white. I read about the challenge while at work, and I came up with the idea. After work I tried to hide away in my craft room (my littlest one needed to be right by my side "crafting" too). Here is what I created.


I've seen a few "legal size" cards lately and wanted to try that. I really like the look and that you get more room on the card front. For the flowers, I used Sweet Treats and cut them at 3 different sizes. I used Don Juan for the lettering. I really love both of these cartridges! The patterned paper is from the new DCWV Spring stack. I went through quite a few stacks of paper before I found the right one. I layered and popped out the flowers, and I added two ribbons layered one on top of the other.
I'm happy that my pictures are getting better.

Thanks for stopping by :)
