Play Date Cafe PDCC107 - Reach for the Sky!

Happy Tuesday!!  I'm having a busy day already... washing clothes, baking chicken for the dog (you read it right - no dog food for my girl), and finally some chocolate chip cookies in the oven for a friend who is meeting with my daughter to help her with an interview for one of her classes.  Had to take a few minutes to dress them up with a bow and some twine with die cut leaves and beads.  Still had a little time left over to make a card.

Are you ready  for a Play Date Cafe Challenge?  Here's the inspiration photo - Black, White and a Splash of Orange!  I'm challenging myself here - not just with the sketch but to use some stamps I've picked up here and there and haven't been using.  If you have a Michael's store near you maybe you've seen the circus stamps they've had in the dollar bins.  I just can't resist when I see a neat stamp at a can't go wrong price.  I think that's why they put them by the checkout - like candy bars for the kids - just to tempt me!  The problem is that I keep buying them and not using them.   Well not this time! 

I didn't have a sentiment to go with he stamp so I made my own in Word.  And of course - had to throw in a few gems on the balloon and between the banners.  Hope you like it and that you're playing along.  You can get all the details here:    http://theplaydatecafe.blogspot.com/2011/11/play-date-cafe-challenge-pdcc107.html  Have a great day!!
