Be Strong

Hola!!

How's everyone doing?  I hope you've been able to have a nice, relaxing weekend, filled with crafty goodness.  My daughter left on Friday, for vacation with her best friend, and I've been a total bum.  All I've done is make cards, and eat.  I'll have to make sure to focus more on the crafting, and not the eating though. lol  I've got plans with an old friend who recently moved from Dallas to Sioux Falls, and will be in my area for work this week.  I can't wait to see him.  Should be a blast to kick his butt in a game of cribbage. :o)

I wanted to participate in a few challenges I saw online, so here is what I made for them.

I'm having a bit of difficulty getting good, true to color, pictures up here.  For some reason, everything seems to have a gray overcast when I go to edit them, even when the sun is out.  I am trying a new software, but the pictures seem to look really, really bright to me.  I guess I'll just have to keep trying to work it out.  I made this card for a friend who's going through some difficult stuff right now.  Her favorite color is yellow, so I thought it would be perfect to pair with the gray.  I've had these papers in my stash for a while, so it's good to use some of it up.  I know she'll love the happy mail, and even if only for a short while, she'll be able to smile.

I've combined the following challenges in my card:

Retro Sketches #70 - Sketch
Dynamic Duos #59 - Basic Gray & Your Choice (I chose yellow)
Totally Gorjuss #190 - Wings
2 Sisters #150 - Stripes 

I'll be back soon with another something crafty.  I'm sure I'll have plenty of time to make lots of stuff this week. lol  I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hugs!
