Color Throwdown Sketch

Happy Hump Day Everyone!
I hope you're all off to a great day....the sun is shining here so I know that it's going to be a fab day! Speaking of fab, we had such a fun time last night making our albums! I may make some for a Convention swap I'm in.....we'll see!

My post for today is featuring the Color Throwdown challenge to use Barely Banana, Basic Black & Real Red and the sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You. This was a total no-brainer for me since all the hard work was done & I truly enjoyed using my fave punch---can't you tell how much I love that thing LOL!!!

I need to *really* start my day now. Laundry is calling as well as a few other things so I better go....thanks so much for stopping by and have a great rest of the day!!
TTFN,
Hugs,
