A quiet week at home has been anything but. Two kids starting exams on Thursday and we are in the throws of completing University Applications for my son. It is a balmy -18 Fahrenheit in Toronto tonight with the wind chill. So to keep warm I found a moment to create a card for this week's RetroSketches challenge. This week's sketch is based on a beautiful card made by Jen Mitchell.

Cardstock: Vintage Cream, Berry Sorbet, Summer Sunrise, Canyon Clay, Simply Chartreuse

Wow!!! Another really fabulous card Tracey! I'm sorry it's so cold where you are but honestly, please keep that Arctic air mass back east...we are just not equipped for it out west here!
Yikes, you're cold there too....it's frigid here as well! But these hot colors are helping to warm me up! Love it!
LOVE this Tracey! The colors, the rounded bottom corner, and how you have one flower over "happy" and the other two over "birthday." So pleasing! And university applications?! Where does the time go?!
Good luck with the kids Tracey! I hope your son gets into the University he wants! Beautiful card! I've been looking around for inspiration for this stamp set! Thanks for sharing this! :)

This is so fruity and cheery and perfect for the challenge, Tracey! Good luck to your son with the aps! I remember going through that with Dan and know it's stressful, and it's much harder these days. Keeping my fingers crossed!!

Hope you are having warmer weather today. You are rocking with the notched flowers! Love the warm colors you chose ~ great take on the sketch too!
I feel like a broken record today - but this one is fantastic, too! I thought this looked like a tough sketch. But you make it look easy peasy puddin' pie! I really should get out that Funky Flower set and give it some attention....
