Finally Friday!!

  And finally, the humidity has improved and it's much more comfy and I actually feel a tiny bit better today too!   We did have a round of nasty storms come though last evening, but it's what we needed to dry out the air and it's a nice change.

    Today, I was also happily surprised to find out I won a RAK (Random Act of Kindness), for taking part in one of the many challenges last weekend over at Simply Scrapping Crafts.  It was for Challenge 5 - Summer Get Together and it truly was a challenge for me.   The challenge was to use these three sketches and take at least one element from each and create your own project with the elements you used from each sketch. 

    For my card I decide to use these elements- 

• From Sketch 1 - I used the butterflies/circles

• From Sketch 2 - I used the Flowers and Colors Pink/Blue

• From Sketch 3 - I sued the Pennants and the Bling

  And after putting it all together, this was the card that I created and submitted to the challenge. 

   My special thanks go out to Sharon for awarding me this fabulous prize.   It's the best GOOD thing to happen for me in a long time and it really lifted my spirits!   Thank you!!  

   And speaking of challenges, I also worked on two cards today, that are also both for weekly challenges that are held each week at SSC.  The first was this week's Color Combo Challenge.  .  The colors for this week's challenge were - Bright Red, Dark Orange, Olive Green, Turquoise Blue, Kraft and White, as shown in the inspiration photo below.  

And this is my completed card!

  I also was able to create one more card today and this one is the the week Card Corner Challenge, which you can find HERE!  This also was a color combo challenge with a bit of a twist and this was our inspiration image and our colors -

       My card is below and my little 'Hula Kitty'  is a digi image from Pink Cat Studio.  I started by coloring her in the colors for the challenge and then added various scraps of paper, including the required Polka Dot paper.  I was very happy to complete two cards!  Yippee!!

   And that will likely it for today.   My craft-room is a bit a disaster and I think I'll try and pick up a little.  Actually, my whole house could use some major cleaning and I can't wait to feel good enough start on that task.  DH and Alex try to help out, but they simply do not see clean the same way that I do....for some reason, my men seem to think the house look great?   Men, UGH!!

    I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!  I hope to feel okay and tomorrow I must get out, as I things I need to get done.  My Mom's Birthday is on Sunday and I have still have not totally finished shopping for her gifts.  If all else fails, I'll add more money to her card, but would really like to find one more really neat gift!!  Wish me luck!
