I had a little extra time today to create cards due to the rain! I love that! I really enjoy being able to spend time in my craft room. It gives me such a feeling of accomplishment and peace! I am so thankful for this wonderful hobby!
The Tis the Season Christmas Challenge provided a great sketch and the Color Throwdown Color Challenge featured some of my favorite colors this week! I promised myself that I would try to make one Christmas card a week so that I would not be overwhelmed when December arrives. As fast as time is going, it will be here before you know it! Although my card is not traditional colors, I love it and especially all the BLING!!!!!! ENJOY!!!!
I am thankful that I still had a few pieces of Lucky Limeade left in my stash. I really like this color and I am sad that it is retired.
