Enjoy

Playing along with this month's CARDS Blog Challenge.  Thankfully I had some MME paper that gave me the aqua colour I needed but had to sub in certainly celery for the chartreuse.  Must say I really do enjoy the colour combo.     

I paired the colours with this week's Retro Sketch and kept things on the CAS side.  The embossing folders provided the texture and I pulled out my favorite PTI flower die as my focal embellishment - happy sigh :)  Just wish I had the linen embossing plate to give that white panel a little something, but alas, it is still on my wish list.  Maybe it will crossed off on  my birthday. 

Short and sweet today as lots to get done. On a cleaning and purging binge and have to strike while the iron is hot!

Half way through the week and I think my body is now speaking to me again after making it wake up so early again.  Oh to be a morning person LOL!  

Have a fabulous day and thanks so much for sharing a bit of yours with me.

Create Blog Challenge

The Create blog has started a fun monthly challenge.  Winners will be posted on their blog and the overall winner gets a prize.  This month, you have to use the sketch provided to make a card.

I jumped at the chance to use my poinsettia die one more time before it has to be tucked away until next year's Christmas cards.  I'm not sure about the brown leaves, but I needed a bit of contrast as there was already a lot of green on the card.  A red ribbon and some gold bells finished things off.

Hard to believe there is only one more week of school left.  My son is starting to bounce around like the Energizer Bunny and may not make it until Christmas LOL!
