City Crafter Challenge Blog week 109 ~ Sketch by Linda

Hi all, I hope you all had fun on Mother's Day!

My husband took me to Spago at Caesars Palace for Mother's Day lunch

we just love that place, actually, just a few weeks ago I met up with my blog friend Dora and her sister at Spago for lunch too, I love meeting up with my blog friends from all over the world

Dora brought lots of presents from Netherland for me, they are precious, thanks Dora, it was fun meeting you and Andrea!

Now to my project today....

based on a lovely sketch by Linda

created for the challenge this week at

Happy Father's Day

I know I am way ahead, guess I am done with Mother's Day card for the year and move on to Father's Day, LOL!

This is another CAS card I am trying to perfect lately....

At "Less is More" this week, Yellow is the color we need to use on the project

I could swear that I used this pale yellow ink.....

it turn out to be more like pale green instead, maybe my ink pad is really "dirty", oh well, it is what it is, LOL!

I am linking this to the challenge over at

Less is More - challenge 66 color challenge
