Hello dear blogging friends!
Well, I nearly have all the Christmas decorations down & put away for another year with the exception of those that are outside! It's just TOO DARN COLD! Being in the single digits or teens is bad enough but SUB ZERO ... REALLY!!! It's just going to have to look like Christmas on the front of our house until the temperatures get above freezing!
Does this COLD weather have you singing the blues?
If you're snowed in ... maybe you could rent a comedy on Netflix
and remember these words!
Hopefully it will help!
Today I'm playing along with the new challenge over at Papercrafter's Corner. It's for the Monday Magazine Challenge and here's this week's inspiration magazine cover . . .
The first thing I saw when I looked at this cover was of course the block design ... next was that pretty purple flower. SO, that was the basis for my creation. I've really been quite happy with the cards I've created using this inspiration challenge. Especially if my mojo is lacking ... this challenge has become my GO TO REMEDY!!
Why not come join in the fun ... I'd love to see how this cover inspires you!!
A few additional challenges:
Little Red Wagon #219 - All Purpose Card
Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge - Anything Goes
Word Art Wednesday #114 - Anything Goes
Cards Galore Encore #1 - Anything Goes

ReplyDeleteDarlene, this is just sooooo beautiful and such a true sentiment. Love the aubergine and white colouring. Hope things heat up a bit on your side soon. We are in the middle of sizzling summer here in Johannesburg, South Africa.
