Thank you! CAS-ual Fridays and ColourQ Challenges

I want to say thank you to all of you for being so sweet and kind to me. I am so blessed to have so many wonderful friends in Blogland! I had to sit down and make a card to show you all how much I truly appreciate each and everyone of you.  And since I was making a card why not have it be for a challenge or two...I took some wonderful advice from a few very sweet ladies and jumped back into stamping and decided to pull out some stamps that I have never used before to change things up, I have to admit it felt great, like using new goodies. The stamps I used were from my sister when she cleaned out everything that was not digital, or at least the "thanks a latte" is and the 2 coffee cups are from either her or Miss Paula. Both were so sweet to give me their "hand me downs" thank you both, it is so much fun to have stamps that I did not have buy.

I choose these colors, both Kara from K and R Designs and Tracey from In My Creative Opinion used for their cards for this weeks ColourQ challenge.  Be sure to head over and see the incredible creations they made with these colors.

    What a fabulous card, and perfect use of the colors. I love the multiple sentiment stamping, and I am going to file that idea away in a corner of my brain. Your bow is just so luxurious, and I know just how that ribbon feels.
