Rainy Day Duck

Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog.

 

Here we are in April and lots happening. The biggest one is taxes. We used to take our taxes to an accountant. I would compile everything and prepare a spreadsheet for him. So I did half the work.

 

Then 2 years ago he called and started asking me questions. When I mentioned submitting a spreadsheet, he said he didn't have one. Uh- excuse me I took 2 days to get it all together and gave it to the person in your office who took my return.

I knew right then and there he wasn't getting my business the next year.

 

I thought about how I used to use TurboTax. So I went back to that software and have used that for the last 2 years. It works for us. I just went out and bought it today. So I have to get busy and get all the financial stuff in order. I will be glad when its done and filed.

 

Anyway, let's move onto my card for today. This one I created for the color challenge #729 and also the sketch challenge #739 on Splitcoaststampers.

 

The color challenge optional was Springtime images. I thought this little ducky playing in a rain puddle was definitely Springtime fun. I liked this sketch because of all the layers. It gave me the opportunity to use some of my gigantic stack of designer paper.

 

I used the new Rainy Day Duck die from CottageCutz on my image panel. I gave her a fancy umbrella by using melon mambo designer paper and granny apple green for the handle. My background striped paper is from Stampin'-Up  but it was the last piece and I don't have the collection name.

I didn't add a sentiment because I am not sure how I will use this card yet. I think it will make a cute thinking of you or a get well card. Well that's it for me for this post. So until next time...….God Bless.
