Color Throw Down

Good morning, peeps! This past weekend, I didn't do any card making at all. Just didn't feel like doing it. Hubby and I did lots of cleaning and the rest of the time was spent reading and watching The Masters. Nope, I don't play golf, hubby does, but I do kind of enjoy watching the tournament, especially when everyone was neck to neck.

Then come Monday, shocker... I didn't feel like blogging. I think I am just going through a cycle at the moment. Burn out cycle that is. :) However, come Monday evening I did manage to make a card. Since, I just got quite a few new stuff, I feel guilty if I don't use them.

So, looking for some inspiration, I saw Kathy's Color Throwdown at Lily Pad Cards. The colors looks fun and you know I love colors.


Back to the gnome. Seriously, you will see me using this polaroid frame, a lot. I LOVE it! And the gnome... yep, you will see quite a few cards using gnome as well, as I am trying to build up some collection for my SIL who loves gnome.

Challenges:
Woodware USA - Anything goes
Cupcake Inspirations - Inspiration Photo

For the background, I embossed the cardstock, and glued the raised part to the card, so I can have the debossing look.

Well, that's it from me today, folks. Hopefully, my crazy thought of stopping my blogging activity will pass soon. I have some of the kindest & sweetest followers and I really do appreciate you all. I almost reach 300 followers, so will do another giveaway soon to celebrate. :)
