Hi all!! Well, I am very bummed today because we were supposed to be going to the Jelly Belly Factory but I called yesterday and they don't restart production until June 30th - and yes, they are open and you can tour, but you won't see anything!! So, rather than drive the two hours there to see NOTHING, we will go once we get back from the houseboat! Seems the shut down the last two weeks in June for maintenance of their machines - why June? Why not, say February when nobody wants to go - sheesh!! So, we are going to the movies instead! Anyway, back to my card - today's card is based on Jen's Sketch for Saturday. I just love this one and have put it in my faves folder to pull out for more use! And, my SBS sister Louise is sponsoring a color challenge of pink and brown so I got that one done too! Head on over to Louise's blog, she is giving away blog candy to a lucky winner who posts a card for the challenge - anybody can play so what do you have to lose? Besides, she is fabulously talented so you get to see her beautiful creations as well! So, this card has two of my favorite colors in it, pink and brown - I just love this color combination and was thrilled when I saw the challenge. I really wanted something soft and pretty since I am sending this to someone special, so I rounded all the corners to keep the soft effect. All in all, I am pretty happy with how it turned out and I hope you all like it too! So, I will leave you the recipe as I have to go grocery shopping for the houseboat before we head to the movies - we are seeing Get Smart!! So, stay tuned tomorrow, when I have another one of Tamara's fabulous sketches for ya! Until then, toodles!Card Recipe: (all products Stampin' Up!)

This is such a cute card - how are you cranking out cards with so much going on?!!! Have fun at the movies and so sorry to hear about the jelly belly factory!! The houseboat trip sounds fun too!!
Great card Alex! And to answer your question on my blog...anybody can do it. They are just starting the 3rd challenge, you should go for it! :)

Lovely card. I love pink. Sorry about the Jelly Belly factory. That would be such a cool place to visit. We had a Hershey plant in Ontario and I got to tour it the year before it closed and moved to Mexico. Got great bargains.
Very pretty Alex! I Love pink and brown! xx
Oh so pretty!

Beautiful Card!!
