Yay... A card... finally!

I decided to jump back into the creative world today with Dawn's colour challenge. I have had way too long away from my crafty space, this card took me ages to make. You know when you get an idea in your head, start creating, and end up with something completely different to that first thought, well that's what has happened today.

First up, the piccy that Dawn has posted for her colour challenge...

 

... now for my take on it...

 

 

 

Ingredients: Very Vanilla and Chocolate Chip card from SU!, Aqua and Yellow card from Bazzill, Papertrey Aqua Mist ribbon, Vintage Labels stamps from SU!, all punches and felt flower from SU!, October Afternoon paper, Ruby Rock-It pearls, Quickutz dots embossing folder.

... it's so nice to have a bit of creativity flowing again, however the girls are struggling somewhat with me doing something that doesn't involve them for a change. Clint is back at work today, so I am the numero uno once again, we have had a great holiday kicking around home just being together and having a good time. The girls have been in and out of the crafty room today, arguing over Beanie Kids, unicorns and anything else that can distract me and bring me out with them {life is back to normal} so, along with my creative break-causing mental block, it's no wonder this card has taken me ages!

I hope your Monday is shaping up to be a lovely one. Smiles:) bye for now.
