Back to doing Challenges!

Well since I've been out of the loop last week, I figured I'd give it a jump start and combine TWO challenges!

The Friday Blogger's Challenge was to use the colors Purely Pomegranate, Old Olive and Brilliant Blue.

Now if that wasn't challenging enough.... those colors just don't look right to "me" together.... but no, I still was determined to combine this with the Monday Lunchtime challenge issued by Mary Jo over at Technostamper. Her sketch was this:

Sketch 6

Don't forget to go over to her blog after noon, to find a list of participants for today's layout!

So with all this said, I am still not sure if it was just a tough combination or I am still suffering a "Anesthesia hang-over" or what. But I am not very thrilled with this card! But I think we all have had moments similar to this one, and I figured it's only fair to show the card and ask for your forgiveness in advance ;-) I feel that this truly is NOT my best work or moment. The only positive thing to report is that I am happy with my embossed circle (made with Spellbinder's Nestabilities) on this card:

challenges gone bad

    LOL...you're so funny. I hope you are doing well, and I am happy that you are back. We ALL have those days when we are less than thrilled with our creations, but in the words of Scarlet O'Hara - Tomorrow is another day.

    Hugs!

    You did a great job considering all your juggling on your plate. Your circle is delightful, and I'm so jealous 'cause I don't have those Nestabilities...
