The holidays are on their way...

Hello Blogger Friends!

It's been a looong time since my last post. I know. Please forgive me.
I've been working really hard at trying to get my affairs in order with my new life her in the big apple, and as a result, my crafting (and blogging) has suffered. 

Despite not actually DOING a craft projects, I've been keeping up and drooling over  admiring my favorite blog challenges. 

In my internet hopping, I've come across and joined a brand new challenge blog called CAS(E) this Sketch. It's a cool clean & simple card sketch challenge which is right up my alley. I missed the 1st sketch, but I just had to make time to play along with the 2nd one:


As soon as I saw it, I had a MILLION ideas! 
(Don't you hate/love when that happens?)


In addition to this sketch, I decided to play along with yesterdays challenge over at 365 Cards.
The challenge was to use 3 items, colors, images, etc. that started with the letter "B". Fun right?!?

Here's my creation:

The inspiration from the sketch is obvious, and the 3 "B's" I used are:
Blue (navy), Bling, and Bakers twine. 
For good measure, I added Bows and a Background stamp :o)


Ok friends, that all for now. Thanks so much for coming by and checking me out. 

Please take a moment to leave a comment and follow me...I'll be starting my own challenge blog very soon and it would be great to have participants. 

I'm also looking for a couple people to be a part of the design team. 
Leave a comment if you're interested.
