Eat dessert first



 A couple recent challenges are looking for us to make them smile, so here we go.

I went with cute images, plus this fun sentiment -- life is short, eat dessert first.  I had intended to get the sentiment out front, but I ended up making rather a busy card front, so it's the inside sentiment (see right).

For my card, I used mainly Taylored Expression images and added the apple pie image, which I've had forever and have no idea of origin.

I used the sketch from Try a Sketch on Tuesday and stayed true to the layout. Since the main elements are circular, I chose circles and dots for my choices of patterned papers. (I chose the colors used to color the images based on colors in the main print, then so many of them got covered up...) For more interest, I matted the white circles on a patterned paper, as well.

This card is entered in these challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday -- funny/punny

Double Trouble #183 -- (met all 3 requirements -- the 3 images/2patterned papers /1 sentiment recipe; food that goes with cheese (apple pie) and entered in TSOT)  

Try a Sketch on Tuesday #662-- use the sketch

Word Art Wednesday #683 -- anything goes

Pammie's Inky Pinkies #2504 -- anything goes
