More Exciting News to Share/CR84FN 9

Hello!  First I want to say Happy New Year!  I am so excited to share with you my new Design Team spot at Mona's new site for the CR84FN Color Challenge.  As you all know she has had the color challenge on her own personal blog.  So many of you showed how much you love the color challenge so she made another whole site just for the Challenge.  There you will find a new Design Team  loaded with talent of many styles.  I am sure you will LOVE this new site just as much as I do. 
 I finally got my light tent for Christmas.  I can now take pictures whenever I want to.  I am so happy!!  Did you all have a wonderful Christmas?  I am glad to be back sharing with you more of my creations.  I have missed you so much.  I am grateful to have each and every one of you.  I have gone through so much this last year with moving and finding out my mom has a brain tumor.  I could not have done this without you.  Honestly!  I mean that with all my heart.  So many of you emailed me with prayers and well wishes.  I never realized how much a craft can take your mind off of your troubles.  Well...this is a new year!  I am looking forward to seeing all of your beautiful creations and reading all your sweet comments.
                            
I used my PTI butterflies and my Watlzingmouse frame stamps.  I know...I know...more butterflies!  I can't help it.  I don't do it on purpose.  If it is a butterfly, flower or a bird, I am going to use it.  Oh, I can't forget my Tea Pots from PTI either.  Those are some of my favorite things in life.
Look at this beautiful color challenge!!  Don't you want to run right now and make a card or LO?  I did.  I look forward to seeing what you create.

Supplies:  Cardstock~PTI Rustic Cream, DP~Basic Grey Nook and Pantry and My Minds Eye Home, Stamps~PTI Butterfly Dreams stamps and die cut,   Bling~Want 2 Scrap Pearls and Swirls and Le Cream baby pearls, Lace and ribbon~Wrights, Tag die and stamp~PTI Friendship Jar Fillers

Don't forget to check out the other girls fabulous creations.  I have them all linked up on my side bar.  You will be blown away!!  Promise.

Thanks for stopping by,
Heather

    I am not sure what a light tent is but I'm pretty sure I need one. I hate the way my pictures are coming out if I take them at night. If I take pictures during the day near a window they come out best. But at night under regular lights all pictures are yellow.
    I'm going to be a follower of yours now. So glad I found your blog. Linda
