diva sketch challenge


Good Morning. I hope everyone survived April and are looking forward to May. I know I am. May flowers, mother's day, my birthday, and Memorial Day. How fun. There is a small group today because of other obligations. Hopefully we'll have a larger group next week. Enjoy your weekend as you skip through the blogs.

diva sketch challenge


Happy Easter Weekend! I hope you're enjoying time with friends and family as you celebrate the resurrection of Christ.

Please take a moment to say prayers for our diva members: Robin Merriman and Jeannette Siciliani. Robin's dad died after a short illness with cancer and Jeanette's family is having some personal issues. I know they would both appreciate your kindness.

Isn't today's sketch too cute? I can't wait to see what the team did with it. Have a great weekend as you start it off with the hop through the sketch challenge cards.

UDI Color Challenge #31


Hello everyone and Happy Tuesday morning to you! Welcome to Utah Diva's International and a brand new Tuesday Color Challenge!



We have a beautiful spring color combination for you this week -- Bashful Blue, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Night of Navy and a little Basic Black for accent and contrast! It doesn't take much imagination to see the beautiful sky blues and fresh pops of color that the budding flowers bring in this combination. Our inspiration is this beautiful sweater found at an online store -- gorgeous, isn't it?



As always, we invite you to play along with our challenges by submitting a link to your photos below! Make sure and link directly to your project (not just to your blog).


Are you ready for some inspiration from our Design Team? Here you go ...































Okay, now it's your turn! Just leave a link to your project below by midnight next Monday, April 18th! Thanks for stopping by ... we hope you visit again soon!
