color challenge #14

Hello! Just a quick card to post from Kristina's color challenge for the week. This one was waaay out of my color comfort zone and it's exactly why I participate in these challenges, right? This weeks' colors are basic black, basic gray, whisper white, river rock, and ruby red. YEP! Reminds me of my corporate world attire I used to wear back in the day. Now if I wear black, I'm definitely going to be spit-up on or the dog will decide to use me as a scratching post. I wanted to use a darker background and I love using the white rubons on dark colors, which matches the t-shirts, so that's where the inspiration came from today. I'm sorry about the dark picture - the afternoon thunder clouds are rolling in and I lost my sunlight.

I'll leave you with this photo of my husband and kids at the carnival on Sunday. Avery was so excited to go on the little roller coaster and Andrew was extremely upset that I wasn't letting him go on the ride, so Michael took him and I think we scarred him for life. Poor little guy. Then, instead of going around 4 times (like every other time Avery was on it) the attendant kept the thing going an extra 2 times. I felt so bad, but I was laughing the whole time. His little face was too cute, even when he was so scared. He was a trooper though and was laughing when he got off the ride and saw me.

Thanks for stopping by!
