Card #1 inspired by 1 challenge...

Inspired By // #IB225 ...An inspiration challenge with an optional sketch challenge.  I used both for my card.  Back when my kids were little I had all kinds of lego stickers and stuff for scrap booking...kinda wish I still did!!  But, since I don't I used the color combo from the photo as my inspiration.  Amazing how this photo makes legos on the floor look like a good thing...my feet can tell you it is NOT!!
