Happy Saturday! It's been a long week hasn't it? Time to kick back and relax! Honestly the weekends are the only time things get done at my house. There's always a project going on! But not this week. Everyone has plans except me. So you know what I'll be doing. If I don't get detoured I'm hoping to straighten up my crafty space. It's been getting a work out this week, and it looks like a tornado came through. LOL!! I'm going to have to lock the dog out - she's still in the habit of laying on my table by the window - all 90 pounds of her.
Believe me now?
Oh my! Did you see the latest challenge at The Card Concept? Well if you like purple - and oh do I LOVE purple - you will want to check this one out! The challenge this time is to create a project - Monochromatic Purple! I say count me in!! I wanted to pick up on the inspiration photos in the picture - looks like a wedding theme going on - so I added some crochet lace trim, pearls, and some bling swirls. I think this time my style is easier to identify. This one is flat out Classy and Elegant right?
