Thank You

Hey Everyone! How was your weekend? Mine was relaxing. We did absolutely nothing! Well, we did stuff, but nothing worth blogging about! I'm on major craft deadlines, so I created LOADS of stuff! I'll share some with you through the rest of the week.

Did you guys read my tweet? I forgot to post here that CARDS magazine is highlighting me as their Designer of the Month in their January 2010 issue!! How exciting! I was so surprised when I was notified. I've known for a few weeks now, but wanted to make sure I got everything done before telling you all! I can't wait until January to see the issue.

Today's card colors are inspired by Dawn's color challenge. It is quite a unique color palette that I would never put together, but on a neutral base did not turn out as bad as I thought. I'll have to admit, it took me quite some time to think of this design and I didn't know if it would end up in the trash or on the blog. But, here it is! It's very simple, but the colors make it pop.

Well, that's it for now so stop back by tomorrow for more 'stuff!' Thanks for visiting today and enjoy your Monday!
