365 Cards #29 & 31

Where does the time go?? I can't believe it is already April! Not only that Easter is tomorrow and I am not even done with cards. I did manage to get a couple more cards done for 365 Cards. Who knew trying to do all 365 cards would start off so challenging. It seems simple enough, one little card a day. It sounds so manageable but yet lately I feel like I am always behind, trying to catch up. Maybe I just need a day or two to get things organized and get all caught up so that I can start off fresh and ready.

On to the cards:


Challenges:
1) 365 Cards #29- A Certain Sentiment- use the sentiment Hang in There
2) Pile It On #12- Animal-Riffic
I'm not all that thrilled with this card. The adorable digi image is from Sliekje but once I started coloring it in, I just am not a great colorer. Which is strange because I love to color and draw, maybe I just need to break down and get some Copics.

My next card:

Challenges:
1) 365 Cards #31- All Mixed Up (take an image and break into thirds, 1/3 no color, 1/3 patterned paper, 1/3 colored in)
2) Pile it On #12- Animal -Riffic
3) If the Shoe Fits #29- The incredible, edible egg (use an egg on card)
4) The Pink Elephant #60- use pastels
I am much happier with this card. At least the coloring is better. I think my mistake was making the digi images so big that they took up all of the card space, which left little room for embellishing. Oh well live and learn. Next time make the images smaller for more embellishment space.

I hope everyone has a great Easter!!
