Finally creating again

Hey everyone:

Well, after going through some family medical issues, I started creating some this weekend :)  I am so happy to be back at it.  I worked on some digital scrap booking yesterday (I have a few layouts below) and caught up on my Twenty-twelve photo project (the link to that blog is on the left), so today is all about making cards :)  The challenges out there are a perfect way to get started, so I went searching for a sketch and color challenge that will get my brain working.  Boy, did I pick two challenging ones :)

 

For my sketch, I used The Deconstructed Sketch, which believe it or not, was a little hard for me, but it has been a while; for the color challenge, I used Color Throwdown (Broni, I'm here again), which was an interesting combination but a load of fun to put together.  

I keep looking at it because the right hand corner looks a little bare to me, but can't come up with anything to add (thoughts please) so I'm leaving it as is for now.

I'm off to start another challenge, so I will see you soon.
