Smile!

Smile everyone! It's Monday!!! Okay, no one say "ugh"... time flies, so we need to embrace each day. Plus, it's time for a Recipe Challenge at The Pink Elephant! Woo hoo!!!

The Recipe is: The Color Red, Scallops and a Bow! 

My card features the adorable Ella herself, which you can now purchase in RUBBER!!! Hey hey hey!!! She and her brother Sammy are available at Die Cuts R Us! Seeing those sweet elephants makes me SMILE, how about you?

I followed Our Creative Corner Sketch Challenge 18. I just LOVE this sketch! The DP is by Pebbles Treehouse, part of the Taylored Expressions May Key Ingredients Kit. I just love bright and cheerful paper (if you hadn't noticed!).

If my coloring of Ella seems a bit better than usual, I have Suzanne Dean to thank. I'm taking her Color Me Creative Class 2 and it is really great! I'm a very visual learner, and Suzanne's videos are excellent. I highly recommend the class! I'm sure I'll take 3 and 4 after I finish 2. I skipped 1 because I'm Copic certified, so I already know the basics. I just really want to step up my coloring skills.

Okie dokie. I hope you'll come back later and check out a couple of special posts I have coming up today. Remember to smile! It's Monday!
