Get Well CCMC305and cQc #243

May 30, 2014

Well, here we are at the end of another month!  I just don't know how the year could be  flying by so quickly!  WOW!  I wish I could slow down time!  I worked most of the day organizing my craft room!  I am the world's worst at cleaning my desk top after creating a card.  I just keep piling up the paper.  Anyone that knew me when I was teaching, knows how my desk ALWAYS looked!  Well, after 3 hours of sorting paper and filing it back where is belongs this is what I came up with!


          

                       This is "AS CLEAN AS IT GETS!"

I think this will last about one day, but my new goal is to try to keep it more organized!  

Today's card is designed around the sketch from Create With Connie and Mary.
I used the colors from the Colour Q Color Challenge.  Both challenges provides some awesome examples from the Design Teams.  Stop by their blogs and check out the beautiful cards!



I made this card for a dear friend's Mama that fell this week.  She is 85 years old and loves purple.  I know she will smile when she gets this card.
