PDCC#64 and Card Patterns Sketch 98

Hi everyone!  I'm back today after a long extended weekend due

to Martin Luther King Jr. day.  I was away with my hubby this past weekend

on a short trip to Memphis, Tennessee.  He is heavily involved with St.Jude Hospital

through a radio-athon at the radio station he works for.  He had the

opportunity to spend some time at St.Jude and with some patients to learn

more about what this fantastic organization is all about and what it can offer kids!

I, on the other hand, wasn't able to attend so I did a little sight-seeing while

he was busy with meetings.  I had the opportunity to go to the Civil Rights Museum

there in Memphis.  My goodness.....what a history lesson that was!

This museum is located at the Lorraine Motel where MLK was assassinated and

they have preserved the rooms at the hotel as they would have been that day.

Let's just say that I now have a better understanding of why we celebrate MLK day

here in the US.  If you get the chance, you must go tour this museum there in Memphis

as well as maybe take in some blues music at BB Kings, eat some BBQ, ride the

trolley, and take in some local shopping!

Alright, back to the regular scheduled programming here on the blog!

First:  the color inspiration from Play Date Cafe by Julie

Then:  the sketch from Card Patterns by Nina

Here is my card using these fantastic challenges!

I have had these pins in my stash for a LONG time and they worked

perfectly with these colors!

I'd love to hear what you think!  Here's to a great week!

Thanks for stopping by!
