Hey, all! I've been out of commission for what seems like forever, but I'm back now. We had a devastating event shake up our arts and crafts community here in Albuquerque last week (you can read it about it here) and that kept me away from my blog for a few days. Not only because I wanted to help out, but also because it put me into a funk of sorts and I just didn't feel like making anything. BUT...now I'm back and I'm itching to make some cards!
Originally I didn't think I was going to have a card made in time for this week's Tiddly Inks challenge, but low and behold, I managed to crank something out. Of course, I didn't finish it in time to make into the TI post, but I get to join the fun from the sidelines, never-the-less.
The entire month of November, the theme at the Tiddly Inks challenge blog is, your favorite and mine, Anything Goes. This time I opted for a bit of romance with this sweet image called, You and Me. This is the second time I've used this image and I just love it. It reminds me of Buttercup and Westley from The Princess Bride. Do movies get any better than that one? I think not!
Do you see that fancy black die cut framing my plain white circle die cut? I received that from Pink Scrappers Boutique the other day. It's my friend, Carlene's, shop. You should really check it out. She has such amazing items at really good prices! AND...the shipping was lightening fast!
Anyway, while you're out and about tooling around on the Internet, stop by the TI challenge blog and see what my talented teammies are up to this week. Your sure to be inspired to create something fabulous!
Later, crafty people of Blogland!

Another absolute stunner! I adore this Tiddly Inks image, and you certainly worked your magic with it again! I love all of the elements of your card, as usual! So sorry about China Phoenix, and what it did to your mood. I would have been miserable. Hope things are starting to look up for you. Hugs, my friend!
