I'm entering a challenge

I love, love love CARDS magazine and I have an online subscription.  They have amazing ideas and challenges and I always want to play along, but never quite seem to get it done.  Well, not this time baby.  I saw the challenge today and actually got a card done that I think is worthy of posting, so here we go...

The challenge is to make a card with an accordian flower.  I have recently started making them and I think they are really cute!  Hope you like it.                                                                                                      

I'm back baby!!

Back from where.  Well, life I guess.  School is done for another year and with the promise of 'gettin 'r done', I have managed to get into my craft room and dabble a bit.  It's been a while since I have done pretty much anything.  I'm having a tough time reaching my goal and really need to get back on the proverbial HORSE and finish strong.  Ever seen that show, "Last 10 pounds Bootcamp"?.. I really need Tommy to visit me for a month and I can get rid of that last 10-15 pounds that keep hanging around.  I know what I need to do, but for some reason, I just seem to have lost the motivation.  It's been a year and a half and I have worked really hard to get where I am now, but REALLY need to reach my goal for myself. 

Dabbling.  I like that word.  I guess I tend to dabble in a lot of things craft/home decor related.  Again, there's my 'can't seem to finish' rearing it's ugly head.  Maybe that's where the non-weight-loss is coming from.  Hmmm, who needs to see a shrink, I've just figured it all out.  Well, maybe not all, but......I digress! 

Where was I?  Oh, yes, dabbling.  In my craft room.  Came up with these beauties today.  Not totally my own creation.  Have been wanting to do a few things, but really needed some inspiration lately.  Oh ya, did I ever get inspired.  Thanks to Michelle Wooderson over at MishMash and Maile Belles at Simply Stamped.  Those ladies completely inspire me. 

Here's my take on their cards!  Hope you enjoy!
