So my father went back to India after staying with us for almost 6 months!!! It was wonderful having him with through the dreaded winter. He's such a great dad; helping me out with almost everything around the house and with the kids. I was able to dedicate a lot of time to improving on my card making skills with him around. Well, it's been a week since he's left, and I wish I had more than 24 hours in day!! After a really really long and exhausting (in a good way!!) day, I really didn't think I would have the inclination or energy to do anything, let alone make a card. But once the kids were in bed, the kitchen cleaned, and everything was peaceful and quiet, I set my DVR to record my favourite show and headed to my craft table....
I made this first card based on the sketch from Card Patterns #58.

With the second card, I combined 2 challenges: the sketch from I heart 2 Stamp....
and the colours from the Play Date Cafe Challenge #23......
Here's mine...
In hind sight, I would have liked to create something better....Namaste!!
I fell in love with both of those... They are simply beautiful..... CHEERS!!!!
