The Challenge #20

True story, I am usually a pretty organized person. So when I was planning time off work for my vacation to  Mexico last week I made sure that I would have an extra day to get back on track after returning home well after midnight on Saturday. I mean Sunday would be a bust with unpacking, laundry and such. Only thing is, come Monday I totally forgot I have booked the day off. Sooo, Monday morning and off I go to work ( I am early shift so an early start). My co-worker walks in a couple hrs later and says hey aren’t you off today…. Right.

So in place of the my silly mistake I have today off, and I have to say it worked out better.  Today is all about getting Christmas shopping done, prepping and mailing Christmas cards and having a Nina day.  Of course a Nina day always included making a card or two.



I am playing along with The Challenge over at Always Playing with Paper, I think I have missed the last couple :(. I am playing along with the sketch and the colour combo, I used a navy layer for the border the rest of the colours are taken care of with the DP. I added a die cut flower, some crystal gems and some twine.


Supplies: Navy and white card stock, Designer Paper – Teresa Collins, Inspired by Stamping – Small Fancy labels, misc die cuts, crystal gems, twine.

Thanks for visiting,
Nina

    Personal days can be just amazing, kind of a reset!
    Love the DP you have chosen to highlight and the die cut for the sentiment, sweet. You have a great eye for combining your elements to make wonderful cards! Thanks for joining us at The Challenge, so glad you were able to!
