It feels so good to have a little bit of time to create today. Never mind that I am in sweats, my hair is not fixed, and you cannot find a stitch of make up on my face. The important thing is that I am creating, right? {wink}. Who needs to LOOK pretty if you are creating pretty things, anyway? I guess the best scenario would be to look pretty WHILE you are creating pretty things. But that is not the case today. Notice I did NOT include a photo of me in this post.I used the Mojo Monday sketch this week (#131), along with Jeanette Lynton's GORGEOUS Color Me Monday combo (Baby Pink, Desert Sand, Garden Green and Hollyhock...all Close To My Heart colors) to make this 3.5" x 8" card for my niece, Tiana's birthday.

Oh my goodness, goodness me, this is absolutely gorgeous!!!
Gorgeous, Karen! I love the colors - they are so springy and beautiful!
Karen, I love your ability to pull together all the elements on your projects to create a work of ART! I don't care whether you're wearing sweats or diamonds, you are an amazing artist.
Karen,
What a beautiful card! One of my favorite things is to create while I'm VERY casual... just as you described... hair pulled back and no make-up! I'm more creative when I'm comfortable. :)
Thanks for sharing your creations and inspiration.
Very cute card! Hey how did your son's all-star game go?
Stellar masterpiece my friend...now did you have to give away our secret? So it sounds like you usually create in full make-up, hairdone topped with your queenie crown. Paleezzze! If I'm home creating, I might still be in my jammies! Make-up is reserved for special occasions...but my other secret is I might fool ya cause I have permanent eyeliner and eyebrows! The permanent lipstick has worn away from a few years past, but who knew?
darling rendition of the original pattern! how the hay do you get a framed area turned into a row of flowers? Yeesh! I don't have a creative bone in my body! lOL
