*So Grateful*

 I am always so grateful that you come to see my cards... I love being able to share my creativity with people who also enjoy being creative.  Thank you so much for visiting me here... and to those who leave comments, thank you for that!  

My card today I made following a sketch challenge with the Paper Craft Crew...  but I missed the deadline so I put it in my bin of cards to share.  I do that sometimes... miss deadlines for posting cards to challenges.

This card is not at all clean and simple, but I felt the need to showcase this gorgeous paper.

*Sketch Challenge Sympathy*

I was able to find some time on Saturday after work to be creative... and my mojo decided to play along too!  Woohoo!  I had some appointments and errands to run this morning but am hopeful that Mr Mojo will pop back in to play for a bit now that my responsibilities for today are done.

I played along with the sketch at The Papercraft Crew... this week it's a vertical sketch.

My first instinct was a card with snowflakes (man how I love making Christmas cards) but I decided some pretty flowers would work as well...  I chose some subtle tones and decided to make this a sympathy card.

*Paper Craft Crew Challenge #500*

I found the Paper Craft Crew Challenge late in 2022 and I don't honestly know if I played along with them or not... I saw the sketch for this week and decided to see what I could come up with for it.

I really like the bright colours and how they went together in this card... and I even managed to keep a sketch clean and simple!
