It took all week just to finish this card...I will comment when I get home from work.
Home from work and it is the weekend at last. The only reason it took all week to make this card is because I had to work in 10 minute increments....things just kept interrupting me. I was just going to make the bookmark during my lunch break on Tuesday and then post it that night...colored the tag but did not get time to post it. I used my NEW, BLUE spectrum noir markers to color the design. When I saw the Wed SC I found some OLD dp in the right colors and patterns and decided to use this week's sketch....did not have time to finish the card. Thursday rolled around and still the card sat on the dinning room table in pieces, when serendipity struck again. The WT called for OLD, NEW, BLUE, and BORROWED..The borrowed part is the sharpie markers that I used which used to belong you my sister. Well, everything that could go wrong did go wrong Thursday night, but it turned out to be another case of "SCS challenge luck". The F4A called for die cuts - the butterflies, and the MIX called for using a tag. What a relief to finish and finally post this card. TFL, Francie

Silly woman, did I never tell you rome wasn't built in a day? this is so you and stands out beautifully in the gallery, too. I hope your holidays were peaceful and joyful. I saw that precious little girl of yours on FB. Oh boy. She's all that and a bag of chips, too. You are so sweet: thank you so much for your cards. I can't say there's a sense of normalcy in my life, but I know it's just around the corner. Hugs and love.

WOW! I do love seeing your abstract designs, Francie! When you add in your use of brilliant color, your card is unique, lively and fun as well as always being upbeat! I can see why this took so long but it was SO worth it! GORGEOUS!

I totally understand the "method" of taking all week to finish. I retired this year and thought things would change. NOT. Your card was well worth the time to finish it. I love your bright butterflies.
