A Sunday Challenge

It's been a busy weekend over here, as usual. Luckily this morning the husband took G out for a bit so I had lots of time to make a mess of my room get crafty.

It's been a while since I've done a challenge, so I figured I'd try for The Playdate Cafe this week.

The color combo screamed 'BABY' to me, but try as I might I just couldn't do a baby card with the colors.  To be honest, I struggle with pastel colors in general.  I tend to gravitate more towards bright and bold.  I gave it my best shot. Yes, I know the colors may be a wee bit brighter, but it was the closest I had to the ones listed. And YES there is taupe in there - don't you see that ribbon all the way to the left??


Hope you all had a great weekend!  We did, lots of swimming.

Also, I went to Michael's today. Scrapbooking storage was on sale 40% off, and I had an additional 20% off my entire purchase coupon.  Needless to say, organization and storage for my office is just about complete.  My tables from Ikea are due to arrive around the 20th. I cannot wait to get everything done!  I'm having some major anxieties about getting everything done before baby #2 gets here.

PS- The husband is putting together one of my Jetmax storage cubes as we speak. I just heard a loud sigh, inappropriate language, and some mumbling about not doing the directions in order.  Poor dear, he still has 3 cubes to go.

    Can't wait to see pictures of the office once it's complete!!

    Also, do you get your Michael's coupons online? I always check their website before making a trip and print out all their coupons they are running that week.

    I love those storage cubes! My hubs put them together, too, but by trade he's an electrician, so he'd better be good with a drill!. Love the card - the text circles balance the sentiment nicely!
