Other news, sad by all accounts, I am having to step down from 3 amazing DTs. I've had to say goodbye at Christmas Stampin' All Year Long, Crafty Cardmakers, and Try Stampin' On Tuesday for personal reasons. I am technically still a DT member at CCM and TSOT but will be playing along very minimally for a bit. I've got some things going on in my life that are making it hard for me to keep up with everything and not feel like I want to just give up on it all and so I'm stepping back in all aspects of my life right now. I won't go into details, just don't think I'm giving up DTs willy-nilly! I LOVE all the ladies I've gotten to work with and it was a super hard decision to make, but a necessary one. I want to continue to focus on the challenges that I own or co-own and to still enjoy the blogging and creating experience right now, so this is what I've had to do. Please play along with these challenges still, they are amazing!
Okay, so let's get onto happier things. I've got two cards to share with you today!!! Yippee!!! I am still trying to take time each day to create something "just because." There is always a lot of comfort that comes from doing something that you love, you know?
Here's the first card~

| Yes, I decorated the inside...minimally! ;) Shout out to Ruth! |
For these fabulous challenges~
(I've used a new stamp set!!!)
As I stated above, the NEW to me is the stamp set that I used. It's an "Inchies" set from Inkadinkado--these are such fun to play with! The colors turned out amazingly and I am really happy with the way this card came together!
Here's the second card~

For these fabulous challenges~
Thanks for stopping by and taking time out of your day to visit me! I really appreciate each visit and each comment--I really do read them all! If you have any specific questions about my cards, please email me! Happy stamping! :)

Your Halloween card is fabulous! I love all the *tiles* you created & the color scheme as well....thanks so much for playing along with us @ ABC Challenges!!!
Wow Mynnette both these cards are fabulous! I can totally understand how hard it is sometimes to keep up with DT commitments:) Make sure you focus on you and what needs to be done in your life to maintain a healthy balance. Sending you big hugs and I look forward to seeing your creations when you are able to post.
You have to take care of yourself first Mynnette and it sounds like you've made a wise decision. I will keep you in my prayers my friend. ~ big hug!!
Now about these cards. The first is just so cute with all those fun Halloween tiles, nice work. And girl...your second card is probably my favorite of anything you've done and you've had beautiful cards. I am swooning over this, it's awesome!!!
