Nope, I didn't wash the clothes, nor did I do the dishes, and I didn't even think of dusting or cleaning off my carpets. Today was a day of "NOTHING"! I unplugged my phones and locked all my doors so that I could listen to the wonderful sound of "Nothing". I think I drank a six pack of Lipton tea, apple juice and water during this day of nothingness. Sometimes doing nothing is all it takes to get your mojo going again.
Since my home is wireless I was able to surf the net while lying in bed doing nothing and I found enough of sights to inspire me and then I went looking for challenges (still searching). The last thing I did before this post was to create a card, but soon I will need to take a shower and get ready to go back to bed. I don't get these days often so this was pure joy and I savor every second because tomorrow will surely come.
Well before tomorrow shows up I'd like to share my card with you.
CS: Stampin' Up
Stamp: Hero Arts
Pennant banner created using scraps from the card-stock. I also used a gold peel and seal sticker to highlight the words. All the panels were inked with walnut stain and the final touch was the two buttons and the border punch.
As you know I hate to waste any paper so on the inside I used the left over pieces to create a space for a personal message (on the right) as well as a space for an image (on the left).
I am entering this card in the following challenges:
A Day for Daisies - Challenge #65 Anything Goes
Lady Anne's Challenges - Friday Sentiments Anything Goes #7 (3/28)
Chocolate Coffee and Cards - Challenge #34 Banners (3/21)
Dilly Beans Designers - Friendship (3/20)
4 Crafty Chicks - Clean and Simple (3/20)
Cute Card Thursday - Challenge 260 Anything Goes (3/20)
For Your Inspiration - Photo Inspiration Challenge #41 (3/19)
Before I close for the night I'd like to remind you that there is still time to enter this month's challenge and take a chance at winning 5 KennyK digi images of your choice.
Next month's challenge is "Anything Goes" and the optional twist will be to make it "Clean and Simple" (CAS). Additionally, remember that beginning next month my challenges will be posted on Monday, and a winner will be selected every other Monday (2 winners per month). Hope you'll find time to play with us.
So until next time.....Hugs and Kisses!

What a fab card ....thanks for your comment on my vellum tea light holders
I started with an a4 piece of vellum .I punched a nice edge along the length of the vellum ..I then drew a faint pencil line along the long side of the vellum around 6cm up from the base ...I stamped my design along this line and left it to dry ...when dry score at 7cm, 14cm, 21cm and 28cm .then turn the vellum and score at 5cm right down the vellum ...gently rub the pencil line out and then fold these score lines carefully and form a square box shape and glue together .tuck the base in on itself and glue to hold ...attach a ribbon around the bottom of the tea light holder and add a bow...that's how I made them ...I look forward to seeing your designs ...tracey
