Brrrrr....cold and cranky!!

  I absolutely can NOT stand bitter cold weather...and today is one of those days!   I'm cold...can't seem to feel warm and just listening the the howling winds all night has me tired and cranky.  Luckily, this cold snap won't be around too long and I'll be much happier when it warms up again.   The cold is making me sore and achy and that's just not FUN!!

   I had plans to craft away the day, but I'm so tired and achy that I have no energy and did not get much done.  I have two new cards to share and I have a feeling this will be it for today.

    My first card was inspired by two challenges - one is the VCMD Challenge #13 , over at the Stars & Stamps blog and the second is today's new CAS challenge at The Outlawz.    Not feeling all the motivated today, I thought it might be fun to see what I could create using my Silhouette Cameo, but quickly realized after a couple of cuts that the original card I had planned, was not working out, like I hoped.  I ended up saving one portion of the card and then put together the rest myself.  I added a layer of embossed hearts as my background and this is the card I came up with.

 

  My second card was also created for Operation Write Home and was inspired to today's new Sketch.  I also enjoy the Sunday challenges, because they always have such great sketches.   I have copied over this week's sketch to share and hopefully inspire you to play along:

My Card

  My 'hugs' card was a very easy card to create and I chose lots of bright sunny colors, I think hoping to make me feel warm!!  I would LOVE to be lounging on a nice sunny beach today.   I think I may go lay down for a bit and pretend I'm on a beach...maybe that will help me feel better!!    Bye Bye!!
