Happy Monday! I hope things are great in your neck of the woods, wherever that may be.
First off, I'd like to say thank you to the ladies over at CAS - Colours & Sketches for choosing my Neon Christmas Card as one of the top 3 last week. You can check out my card HERE!
Sorry for the quietness lately, it has been a very busy couple of weeks for me. Last weekend I had a friend in town (my University roommate from back in the day!) to celebrate my birthday with me - what a weekend! So very, very busy. I did get a chance to get one quick card in over the last little while - one card, that's it!
This week we have a fabulous new sketch for you over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. The DT will have their inspiration creations up on the blog on Wednesday, this gives you some time to come join us and play along before we show you how we've all interpreted the sketch. Please drop by and check out what the DT has come up with and make sure to play along!!!
I also decided to play along with the colour challenge over at Create with Connie & Mary. I decided to use the colours as an accent this week and pair them with a beautiful neutral - Soft Suede. And I was dying to get my hands on the new stamp set - Four Feathers - and the accompanying framelits. Luckily, my wonderful crafty friend over at Hayley's Paper Garden just purchased them and I got to play!
For the silver portion of the colour challenge, I decided to use the redesigned Silver Glimmer Paper which is so super sparkly...
Time Out Challenges also had a fun "Inspired by Words" challenge on their blog this week - "Birds of a Feather Flock Together". I think my card fits right in with this!
