The Glass is Half Full



This morning I was reading the blogs I follow while sitting on the porch drinking my morning coffee. I found a great sketch on Debbie's Dash of This & That, so just had to give it a try. I was hoping to be able to use it for a DT assignment that I am trying to finish up, but the die I needed to use (for my assignment) was too big, so didn't fit the sketch card. Well, I had already cut all my papers and started making the card, so I went ahead and finished up. Little did I realize that the sketch is this week's challenge sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches. Just goes to show how little penetrates my wee brain prior to finishing at least one cup of coffee.

I also decided, after having a very careful look, the card fit this week's inspiration photo at {Pin}spirations. See the photo below:



I've used the pink and blue colors in my design as well as pink roses (OK, I know those are Peony flowers and not roses, but I don't have any Peony flowers in my stash), and I have a frame around my image (though not as ornate as the one in the inspiration photo).  Don't you see the connection? I do (smile).

So, I discovered after the fact that while my card didn't work for my DT assignment, it does work for two wonderful challenges this week. Need I say that I am entering my card in:

Thanks for visiting me. May all of your glasses be half full. Hugs.
