I really wish that I could send everyone some of our gorgeous Arizona weather right now. We've been hovering around 70 for the last couple of weeks with the forecast to the mid-70's for the next few days. It is a misconception that Arizona is really warm in the winter. Our average for this time of year is only about 60 so we are lovin' every minute of this.
For my Unity FWF card last week, I played along with Unity's {be inspired} color challenge so this week I decided to try the {be inspired} card sketch. I love sketches but for some reason have difficulty following them - mine always comes out a bit different. Oh well, it's meant to be a starting point, right?
So again, here's the challenge...
...and here's my card.

I had to do something with the humming bird as we have them year-round. I really do think that Unity's KOTM gets better every month. Angela has such fabulous talent designing for her and how they keep coming through with these gorgeous images and sentiments always amazes me.
I hope everyone enjoys a wonderful weekend.
