Hi everyone!
Not sure if you all follow me on FB but I have shared a bit over there about our move from NH to CT. We moved on Monday of this week and are getting settled here in CT. So needless to say, I have been busy packing/cleaning/unpacking etc. the past month. Thankfully, I had all my blog posts scheduled that needed to be scheduled. I finally got my craft room sort of organized yesterday and today and was able to make my first card in at least 2 weeks. I was afraid my mojo was going to be gone but I took the lovely inspiration photo below and found a sketch on StampNation to use and voila! My card!
I have lots of friends with birthday's next month so I am getting a head start on them.
Here is the inspiration photo:
I was inspired by the stripes and the colors.
I mentioned the sketch was one I found on StampNation and I wanted to make sure you all saw THIS POST! We are having a Virtual Retreat and I have a MISTI to GIVEAWAY! I will be choosing a winner tomorrow so head on over and leave me a comment!
Thank you for visiting and have a great day!
