This is my contribution for this challenge, The color combination really caught my and I have been wanting to use this trellis die.

Life Changes

 I had to say good-bye to my friend, husband and a big part of my life on April 3. He passed peacefully with all of us with him. A truly finer man like him is really hard to find and we were blessed with almost 63 years of married life. The adjustment has been difficult. He always encouraged my creativity and would even give suggestions when asked. I have found boxes with every card that I ever made for him. I miss him every day, but before he would go, I had to promise that I would continue making cards and would be ok. I'm trying really hard  to do both.

It's been awhile since I have made any cards. The Hurricanes totaled our house and most of my craft things. It's been a journey getting back to any kind of schedule. This is my contribution for this week's challenge.

These colors definitely had me thinking Christmas. This kit came from TE last week and I couldn't wait to ink it up. I just love the results with the cable stitch embossing in the background. I think the Christmas card making is underway!

This beautiful die is part of a kit from My Favorite Things. I thought it would be beautiful in these colors and I was not disappointed. I ink blended the cardstock with the two colors in a diagonal direction in order so get some of each color on each butterfly.

I had this cute bee stamp from Taylored Expressions and thought i would be perfect for this sketch. It's been a long time since I've done one of these sketches and thought it might get my Mojo back if I made it a point to get back into the weekly groove.

I love this postage stamp set from Waffle Flower. The Red & Blue colors are fitting on this one. I think it is a great card just to say "hello".
