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".

Color Throwdown 799

 My first time posting in a very long time. I love these colors together and thought I would make a card for a friend who's going through some heath problems. All paper is from Taylored Expressions and the sentiment is from Poppy Stamps, I think.

 Wow, I can't believe I haven't posted anything since October. Life has been different. Hubby had surgery to put in an access port for dialysis. He began that 4 weeks later. It has been very hard on him but he is finally adjusting. I have had some serious shoulder problems along with blood clots for which I was hospitalized. After therapy didn't help, I began acupuncture. It has finally begun to relieve some pain and I have been able to sit for longer periods of time. I will post some cards that I have made soon.
