Friendship Card Set

Hi there! So, we're well within the 2nd week of 2010 and usually about this time everyone begins losing steam towards keeping their New Years resolutions/goals. I must say I'm doing pretty good right now (knock on wood). As I'm typing this, I realize I didn't post my goals for 2010. I'll try to get back later today to do that :-) It has been REALLY cold here in North Florida (9 consecutive days of below freezing weather)! That may seem warm for this time of year to some of you, but it has really gotten old with this Florida girl, LOL! I'm ready to put on my flip flops and bermuda shorts. My family actually received some light flurries in Central Florida this weekend. I'm trying to get them to send me photos.

Because of the cold weather I've been held-up inside with my two guys this weekend. Which means I had time to get some scrappin' and cardmaking done....WOOHOO!! During my daily blog surfing this week I came across Dawn McVey's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #21. She always puts together amazing color combos, but I never get a chance to play (read: I'm always too intimidated to play along). Have you seen the submissions to her color challenges? They're ALWAYS amazing! With this color challenge she posted a video to encourage everyone to play along, so I did! To help me along I used the current Mojo Monday #120 sketch challenge. Here are the challenge images:
