It has begun...

This month marks the 8th anniversary of Papertrey Ink.  Every year they have several challenges as part of the festivities and this year I am happy to join the party!  I really appreciate that their anniversary is in February, the grayest month of them all.  It seems this year they are allowing for more participation by extending the deadline of all challenges to the 15th so everyone still has time.

The first challenge was issued on the 5th.  The objective is to use one of the listed sketches AND one of the color combos on one card.   My choices:

Which was when I realized I really do need the tiny words from Tiny Tags II.

Thanks for taking a minute out of your day.  Let me know your thoughts.
