Purple & Green

Hello!

Do you ever end up with certain colours of card unused?
If you are like me you certainly would! So when a challenge comes
along for colours I would not normally use I have to give it a go!

For example:

Purple & Green.


I used the sketch from Scrapbook.com - August Card Sketch #1 so could enter it there too!

Here is the Sketch!

Big Move

Good morning friends!

My big news for you today is that we have sold our house and
moving into a Retirement Village!
So much packing!  Here are boxes just from my craft room and still a few to be
added!!
This does not include my Big Shot, Silhouette, Printer, dies & Stamps!
OR  my sewing stuff!

It will be sometime before I get back to creating! Still a couple of weeks before we move
and then unpacking and sorting again on the other side!  Whew! what a job!!
I am so looking forward to down sizing! The house is just too big now for us
to manage,

Thanks for looking and happy crafting!
