Hey y'all and happy Friday. How's your week been? I've got a sore arm from yesterday's second Covid shot but I have today off work so I can be lazy and recuperate!
I posted yesterday about how I had so much trouble making a card and right after I wrote that post, I went back in my craft room (the whole get-back-on-the-horse thing) and made a card to share today, and this time I didn't have near the frustration. Which is good, because stamping should be fun, not frustrating.
I'm kinda sad that they're retiring Cute Fruit already because it is just stinkin' adorable. But as we've discussed several times, I almost never get rid of stamps so it's not like this one will magically disappear from my collection. The patterned paper and the Stitched Nested Labels dies are retiring too.
It seemed like a great idea to use Cute Fruit with this week's color challenge from Global Design Project:

Okay, as someone who was a kid in the 80s, I totally LOVE Magenta Madness. It's such an '80s color, and I mean that in the best way possible. I love when Magenta Madness pops up in color challenges. Anywha, I also used this week's sketch from the Paper Players:
I put the sentiment in a different place, whoops. Just noticed that! I think the Challenge Police will let me off with a warning, though. I usually jot down info for various challenges on a piece of paper and then take that upstairs to stamp, so I don't have a computer or phone screen in front of me to double-check things like that. It happens!
Hope you have a good weekend, peeps. Cheers!
