Because You're Awesome

Mornin', y'all.  Guess what?  It's snowing here again, or at least it was a little bit ago.  However, the temperature is far enough above freezing that it melted as soon as it hit the ground, so for all intents and purposes it was more like raining.  Schools are still on a delay here or cancelled altogether.  Panic much?  Well, maybe it was below freezing in Maryland.

Anyway, card for the day.

That, my friends, is the superfantastic Botanicals For You Sale-a-Bration set, and this is its maiden voyage.  I like the giant sentiment and those flowers are very forgiving--the only thing I used a Stamp-a-Ma-Jig for was the part on the Blushing Bride banner, the rest was freehand stamping.

My color combo today is from Fab Friday's first challenge of the year, welcome back Fab Friday:

Imma tell you a secret:  I don't like any of those colors together.  Even the Watermelon Wonder and Blushing Bride that are paired up in the Birthday Bouquet DSP.  I don't know, I think they clash, like navy blue and black together (MOM).  But anyway, this is a *challenge*, so I tried it.  And I do like my card today, I think having the three pink/red shades in just small stamped images helps it not look so clashy to me.  So I'm still glad I gave it a shot.

That's it for me today, peeps.  I am in fact coming down with the crud that my hubs and my mom have had, and every time I cough my girl dog looks very concerned and runs away.  Why am I apologizing to the dog that my cold is inconveniencing her?  I think she wants me to get rid of this cough even faster than I want to get rid of it.  She's weird like that.

Cheers, peeps!  *cough cough* ; )
