Rain Boots

Mornin' y'all! Guess what....THE MAC IS BACK, JACK!  The hubs managed to set it up just like our last Mac, though there are some differences--mostly I haven't been able to get AirDrop to work right, I need to ask him about that.  But I'm glad to be off the laptop and back on the Mac!

And I have a cheerful rainy day card to share today.


Personally, I love rainy days, especially when I don't have to go anywhere.  I started with the new challenge from The Card Concept:


I didn't match the colors exactly, but that was dictated by the Pleased as Punch DSP and I figured that it fit the theme so well that I could get a pass for using Balmy Blue as opposed to the more turquoise Coastal Cabana.  I think I got the other three colors though, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, and Polished Pink which I miss a lot.  I also used last week's Freshly Made Sketch:

Have to say this one was a bit of a head-scratcher for me and I'm not 100% sure about what I ended up with, but I gave it a shot.  I think I just don't like the placement of the umbrella, but I can't unstick it now.

Anyway, Ryan is on spring break for the next two weeks and why didn't I ever get two weeks for spring break when I was in school???  Lucky duck.  Anyway, have a great day, y'all!

This is fantastic! I had just pulled this stamp set out and have it sitting here. Those boots are calling me to color them! lol! I love the DSP you use and the umbrella looks just fine!

Whoop whoop - congratulations on getting your new Mac up and running! I have this set out to hopefully play along with this challenge too - love those boots against the rainy DSP. I too miss Polished Pink - live you I have some stashed though ;-) Enjoy spring break - I thought this was specific to seniors/college kids, but maybe that's because I've seen too many stereotypical movies lol!
