Hello, my friends. Words can not express the joy in my heart as I return to my blog. I won't bore you with my tales of woe ... but I must say I am so happy to have finally finished the last of my medications today. When you have your health - the world is a much better place.
While being "down and out" these past weeks, I have visited all of your blogs and wished so much to be back in my craft room. Finally ... I am able to share something new with you and what better way than to join Mona and her design team for this week's challenge CR84FN Color Challenge? Just in the nick of time too! Here's the gorgeous color combination ...
Don't you just love that quote? Thanks, Mona, for the inspiration!
Here's what I have to share today ...
The card began with Crumb cake cardstock with edges brushed in a soft shade of off-white. The funky orange print paper is from my scrap drawer and the bees along with the gentle honeycomb pattern is from Botanical Gazette. The lace ... a piece from my dear sister-in-law, Shirley. The ribbon is old Stampin' Up and the flower ... well, I've had that for ages. A pin with a button, bead, and tag added is the perfect topper for my project.
The sweet little crown and funky rub-on are from my supplies. Both are so fun for this card!
That's all for now. I soooo want to jump into things with both feet but am trying to pace myself now that I feel just an itsy-bit better. Thank you for stopping by today ... I've missed you!
