My Friend...WMSC28, CR84FN8 57

Hi there! I hope you are all having a great start to your week :) It's the MOST wonderful time of the year but oh so busy...sigh... In my personal life, a lot of exciting things are happening that I would like to share. I started a new job last week and resigned from my current job of 11 years. It was a difficult decision but after a lot of time and careful consideration, I decided a change would be good. I will miss my colleagues, many who have become personal friends but look forward to making new friendships. One thing I will definitely not miss is being tethered to a pager for countless hours anticipating the next emergency surgery. My "new" job requires NO call, NO weekends -YAHOOOO!!!! almost virtually unheard of for a Registered Nurse working in an Operating Room :)

Here to share this quick, CAS card that I made:

I combined a few of my favorite products to make this card. I pulled out a piece of Pink Paislee's Parisian Anthology collection DP and trimmed a corner off a square doily that I convinced the manager of one of favorite restaurants to share with me :)

For sketch inspiration, I referred to this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge:

and for color inspiration, the current CR84FN8 challenge :)

You may notice, I don't use a lot of what I consider LOUD colors so this color combo incorporating Bright Pink is quite the challenge for me personally! How about you? Do you prefer subtle & pastel,  bold & bright or a little of both?

Using both Spellbinders™ Nestabilities® S4-249 Big Scalloped Circles LG & S4-250 Big Scalloped Circles SM die templates, I created a multi-layered flower embellishment:

I inked up the sweet My Friend sentiment from Waltzingmouse Roses In Bloom and used a S4-249 Big Scalloped Circles LG die template to cut/emboss the image.

Thanks so much for visiting and I hope you are enjoying the Holiday Season :)
