I Thought of You Today

Just thought I'd post a card I made yesterday....just for me! OK well not really ...For ME...but not a DT card. In fact, do you do this... ever find yourself overwhelmed with a card... and well your mojo is just not there... or you just can't get it to work for you?? I was trying to do an upcoming DT Challenge and I just could NOT get any inspiration for it...nothing I thought of seemed to work out and so... I put it ALL aside and pulled out an image I'd coloured abit ago and put together this card. Now I made it for one friend who recently had surgery however, ended up giving it to another who needed it sooner.... LOL Will have to make another for the first friend. I pulled out the  great sketch from over at The Beary Scrap and made this....
Now...this is of course an adorable image from Penny Black, and I've paired it with some great papers from We R Memory Keepers (Fabulous little 6x6 pad I got!!). Anyhow, I was happy with it, it's cheery and happy and well different then the cards I've been making of late. So I'm also gonna enter it over at Papertake Weekly cause well it's ANYTHING GOES over there!!!

So cute and cheery- and so great to do something just for YOU (and your friend). I'm sure you completely brightened her day! I'm jealous about the We R Mem. (backordered for us, grr...) and I adore those yellow flowers! Hope your mojo is back now :)
