Otterly Awesome

Mornin', y'all.  Well, our Friday plans have been scuttled...hubs' day off got taken away but daycare is still closed (thanks a lot, powers that be) so Ryan and I are chillin' at the house today and I'm trying to get some appointments taken care of for him.  But I'm kinda grumpy about it.

On the other hand, I managed to snatch a few minutes in my craft room yesterday between getting off work and picking Ryan up, so I made a card to share today.

I love the Sale-a-Bration set Awesome Otters, it was the very first thing I wanted out of that catalog :)  Here is this week's Freshly Made Sketch:

Which I paired with the Color Throwdown:

That cake is gorgeous and I think 85% of our house is decorated in blues and greens, so no way was I going to let this challenge pass me by.  I used Seaside Spray, Misty Moonlight, Shaded Spruce, and Early Espresso for the colors--all of the images and the sentiment are stamped with Early Espresso, and then I used some lighter neutral Blends to color the otters.

Well, Ryan just told me he's going to play upstairs until I finish my workout and all that boring stuff, so I'd better get to it :)  Have a good weekend, y'all.
