 This is my liberal take of SCS SC #189..lol.  It is a huge card...8.5 x 5.5 or is that 5.5 x 8.5?  I offered to make a card for a co-worker that will be leaving.  I like to coordinate the card with the gift wrap/gift so I needed to work with blues and greens.  Thank goodness for the fabulous K&Co Blue Awning dp...I teamed it up with River Rock which I still love...it reminds me of my wall color...sometimes it takes on green tones and other times khaki...anyways, making a masculine card and working with blues...that was a challenge for me.  I'm getting my $$ worth on my M's faux dew drops :)

 Sweet Mother of Pearl!  Thank You Carolina!!!!  I'm floored with your generosity!  
I'm happy to say that the weather has taken a good turn...it was so uncomfortably warm last week {90's}...it will be in the 60's/70's this week...woo hoo!  That makes me a much happier girl AND I can be upstairs comfortably being crafty!!!  My goal this week is to use some of the goodies that I've accumulated the last couple of weeks!
Happy Monday!!!
