Dogwood Blossoms

Happy Thursday and thanks for taking the time to visit the charmed life blog. We have had such beautiful sunny days for the past 4-5 days. Warm days and cool nights are such perfect spring days. I am lovin' it I tell ya!!

Lat night we went to see the Beauty and the Beast musical. The traveling show is in Pittsburgh for 5 days. I purchased the tickets a couple of months ago and we had fantastic seats. My husband really liked the show as well.

Funny story and a mix up: My friend saw the Lion King in New York a few years ago. She told me the costumes and music were incredible and if I could ever go to do it.
So, I get this email about Beauty and the Beast coming to Pittsburgh. I was being offered the chance to buy tickets in advance of the general public.
Of course I jumped on the opportunity. Don't know how I got confused but I am thinking this is the show that Tracey mentioned to go and see.
So I buy the tickets and only after they arrived in the mail did I realize the mix-up. She said Lion King not Beauty and the Beast (lol). Too funny!!
Needless to say I wasn't really excited about going but after seeing the show I was so glad I did.

Now onto my card for today. This one I made for the sketch challenge #379 on Splitcoaststampers. Taylor was our hostess and she provided a great layout for us.

My image & sentiment are from the dogwood blossoms set from Marks Finest Papers.

I stamped my dogwood image in calypso coral ink and then did some fussy cutting. I popped it up on the center panel for dimension.

My card base is Stampin-Up's pool party and the designer paper is from the "everyday enchantment" collection. The middle panel is calypso coral designer paper.

My pennants are cut from a Spellbinders die in pool party party. That completes this card.

Time also to dim the lights in charmed life land for another day. So until next time.........God bless.
