A card, a prize, a design team call and generalized rambling

Wow! I can't believe summer is now "officially" over. I'm still a little bummed to see it go but suppose it's time to look forward to the blessing of another season. September has already turned out to be busy but fortunately we have now started back with school and are getting back to our semi-regular schedule. I've spent the last few weeks with a combination of wisdom teeth out and ice packs on my face, allergy testing, preparing for school and finishing up the last of the kids' dental check ups. As of yesterday I have all of that pretty much done and I'm now looking forward to some craft time!!

Yesterday was the start of my sponsorship at The Play Date Cafe. With all that has been going on it completely slipped my mind to do the blog post here. ooops! Of course, one of the great things about being back on our normal-ish schedule is I have time for guest designer spots again!! Love doing that! I am one who works best with a goal or assignment so it really stretches the creativity and gives me a chance to play with new things.

 So, this week I am also guest designing at The Play Date Cafe! :)

Here is the color story for the week:

My Card:

The card uses stamps from my newest set Lighthearted Wishes, available with my other stamp sets at Gina K Designs

This is also the prize being given away! So be sure and enter your creation!

If you have a Silhouette electronic die cutting machine there is also a matching cut file available.
