I hope you've had a wonderful holiday weekend. It's been nice, sleeping in the last three days, and spending time with family and friends. The weather has been absolutely amazing here too. So thankful for everything we got to do, and everyone we got to see this weekend. *happy sigh*
I was fortunate enough to get some time in my craft cave today. Here is what I put together.
I've been hoarding this Lil Inker Designs ombre patterned paper, and was thrilled that it went with a couple of challenges I wanted to join. I kept it simple, and love how it turned out, although I'm bummed that I got a small ink smudge in the top left corner somehow. I was able to get most of it off, but it still looks kinda bad. I was already done with the card when I noticed it, so I just left it. Ugh. What do you do when this happens?
I'm going to submit this card for the following challenges.
City Crafter Week #268: Nautical
Crazy 4 Challenges #293: Monochromatic
Just Us Girls #300: Congratulations
ShowCASe Your Style #18: Inspiration Photo (Blues)
The Paper Players #252: The Great Outdoors (sailing is done outdoors, hope this qualifies)
Pile It On #76: Hot Fun In The Summertime (who doesn't like to go boating in the summer?)
Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #276: Choose A Past Sketch (I chose sketch #274, my loose interpretation)
That's all for me today! I'm off to grill some ribs, and finish the potato salad for dinner. I hope everyone has a wonderful evening, and a great work week.
Stay crafty my friends!

This is absolutely adorable! I love that cute little sailboat with the stars and the way your stamped your sentiment on the striped background. Thanks for celebrating our 300th challenge with us at JUGS!
I don't even see that ink smudge - great card! When something like this happens to me I try to cover it up with something (sequins, enamel dots, splatters etc)
