I beat my record of most number of challenges in one card - good thing because I was behind on several of them.
I am going back and doing the Midnight Madness Sketches. This is the very first one. I figure if I go back and do all of them, I will have seriously learned something because they are the most wonderful sketches!
The Teapot Tuesday challenge was to do a boy's sport card with a focus on sweet Mark who is battling cancer right now. I have no boy's sports stuff (I only have girls), but I did have this sweet little boy fishing. I bought it on Ebay and can't even remember what company the image is from (I cheated and bought it already stamped). It isn't girly so surely I can come in the front door - I'm so late no one will notice anyway.
I used the colors from this week's color challenge too - the closest I had to Wild Wasabi, Cherry Cobbler, and Marina Mist (I ordered Cherry Cobbler but it hasn't come yet). These are great "boy" colors together. The color challenge is also supporting Mark (I love it when these two challenges team up together to encourage someone!).
I used the inspiration challenge to select some of my colors/papers - the inspiration site is Georgie Love and I selected this sweet bib:

Oh my gosh Nancy...I love this!!! How sweet and absolutely adorable. Reminds me of my son. When he was 13 during the summers he would grab his fish pole and bicycle and ride down to the bridge just down from our house and fish all day. When he was 15 he got interested in classic cars and now restores them!!! lol This is colored so beautifully and composed wonderfully. tfs

Look at you go Nancy with all those challenges combined!! You are da woman if you can do that. And, going back to the MM challenges, that's so funny. You did a terrific job and I can see why you've been holding onto that fab dp and the embossed buttons add a beautiful extra touch. You did GREAT!! TFS!
