Inkredible Color Challenge

Here is this week's Inkredible color challenge.   The colors are:  Blushing Bride, Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke and So Saffron.   I have to say I was skeptical at first with these colors.    But after I stamped the hydrangea with Cherry Cobbler onto Blushing Bride I was on my way.    I stamped the flower and cut it out and then put it on top of the stem.

Memory Paint Can

Baby books are great ideas, but sometimes you're too busy.
Living with a little one can put you in a tizzy.
Milestones pass too fast at times to find the proper page.
So, jot a note of each event with date or baby's age
(like "Took 3 steps on May the 1st"
or "Teething -- 5 December")
then drop it in this Memory Jar to help you to remember!

As children grow, they learn to speak, And have so much to say.
They crack us up and make us smile
Each and every day. All the things they do and say,
We think we will recall. But as they age, so do we,
And we don't recall at all!
So HEAR it, WRITE it, DROP it in -
That's all you have to do,
To help remember the things they did, And WHAT was said by WHO!
