A Happy Friday!!!

  Yesterday, was not one of my best crafting days -- I really think it was a BUST!  I was not at all happy with any of my cards and feel much better, since I started over again today!   I am not going to re-create the Two Peas cards again, as they simply were not my style.   But...I have created a brand-new card for Simply Scrapping Crafts.    I guess it was just one of those days, when things do no turn out as well as planned!
    For the Color Combo Challenge at SSC, I really thought it was nice combo and would be easy....WRONG!   Very wrong.   These colors do NOT all work so well together.  Blue and Green are Nice, Pink and Blue and Pink and Black are cool too...but all four....YUK!  After several ideas and starts on cards, I ended up creating this card and finished it last night.  But, just is not one I really like!  !
  This morning I decided to start ALL over and was inspired by these flowers.....

  And created a whole new card....

   This new flower was created but using a combination of shapes that I punched/cut into shades of blue/green, blue and pink patterned paper.  I added a pink brad for the center adhered it to my card with a large glue dot!  It did not photograph very well, but I still think it's a much better card!!    I also had used some 'smooch' on the flower to add some shimmer!!   I really love these handmade flowers, they are so easy to make and look cute on any card or even on top of a gift box instead of a bow!!

   Off to find a NEW challenge...Happy FRIDAY....!!  What's up for the weekend??

These flowers are so pretty. Love all the different punches you used to create these. They inspire me.

A Little About Me

Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
