Dream TTS16 and ctd292

May 15, 2014

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.
