After an exciting evening at sorority last night, I got up this morning ready to stamp. But first, I have to tell you – you would have laughed yourself silly last night looking at bunch of women running around a yard on an Easter Egg Hunt. Wish I had thought to take pictures! They hid 50 eggs, I found three and the winner found eight or nine, can’t really remember this morning (and no, I was not under the influence). But I probably should have been! I took one of the ladies home – she lives just a few blocks away – and drove my car off her driveway into the culvert. There was a small curb on both side of the drive, got my left front wheel hung up on the curb and got stuck. I thought for just a minute that I might have to call a wrecker to come pull me off, but Bad Bev was also with me and she stood out on the road until I put the car in forward and tried to drive off the curb. Got up and over, and then with Bev still standing on the road she guided me out the driveway. After dropping Bev off at home, I thought to myself – now if I had been drinking that wine, I probably would never had gotten stuck in that culvert! I haven’t checked this morning for any damage yet, hoping that everything is okay and there is nothing leaking out the bottom!

Anyhoo, onto today’s Sketch Challenge on Splitcoast. Once again I found myself drawn to black and white with just a touch of color. Picked up some new stamps recently from My Favorite Things and really haven’t had much of a chance to play with them until today. I have to tell you, I’m lovin’ these stamps! I stamped the bunny image with Black Stazon and water colored with reinkers. Since this was a simple sketch today, I felt the card really just called for a simple background. Pulled the Cuttlebug off the shelf and embossed a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the D’vine Swirl embossing folder and then layered that onto Basic Black. Knew I needed something on the bottom right-hand corner to comply with the sketch, so I stamped out the sentiment and one little carrot and colored it with reinkers. The carrot is cut out and then layered on top of the sentiment oval. I punched the sentiment out with the large oval punch, layered it on the black and hand trimmed that (which is why it looks a little screwy). The ribbon is from one of TexasJodyLynn’s ribbon shares!
