Paper Sweeties Inspiration Challenge - August 2016

Hello Crafters!

Happy Monday 

and 

Happy August 1st!

I can't believe it's already August!

I also can't believe I'm actually blogging and crafting!  I feel like I've been in a crafting coma lately.  I've been out a lot the past 15 months since my dad passed, helping my mom periodically.  In fact, I've spent the last month moving my mom from WV to SC.  Lots and lots and lots of packing and unpacking, but she's now fairly settled in her new home and half the distance to me as before, which is nice.  Now I can get in some much needed crafty time.

Today is also special for two more reasons--

First, it's the beginning of the month, 

which means 

a new 

Inspiration Challenge 

on the 

Paper Sweeties Blog!

Hop through the Design Team's blogs 

and

check out their scrumptious projects 

for 

inspiration!

My card for the Inspiration Challenge:

Addendum --- I don't know what happened in my photography because the "yellow" is actually a bright olive green color.  Hmmm, must be the background I chose.  It definitely looks better in person.

Here, I switched out one I did with a more neutral background, but that green still looks yellow!  Ugh!
