How is everybody doing? Mr. J has been off work a few extra days this week so we've been having extra "family time" lol! He works in construction and work is a little slow right now. We're making the best of it - running errands together and having lunch at restaurants - it's like we're dating again!! He's getting educated on the cost of groceries - (that's usually my job), and it's nice having him help me carry everything into the house. I know he'll be missing in action again before I know it!
A new challenge begins today at Fusion Card Challenge - this one is called Wooden Hearts. You know the drill - you can take inspiration from the photo or the sketch, or both!! I love the purple flowers in the photo, but wasn't in the mood for the wood and grey. Winter has been bitter here the past few weeks, and I need some bright colors to keep me happy and warm! If I can't play out side I will make my own little paradise!
The big heart is from Memory Box, and the smaller gold heart is from Cheery Lynn - Don't they look beautiful together?
A little bling always makes me happy. I added a swirl of gems to fill the empty space under the heart. The swirl draws your eye back to the hearts.
TIP: Save money buy purchasing larger sheets of gem flourishes - just snip off one swirl at a time to embellish your designs.
I hope you'll join us at the challenge - you have two weeks to play!
