I'm still in a funk but my blog must go on...

I'm still living in the world of chaos, but I'm trying to keep up. How do I keep up? Well...by combining 3 challenges in 1 card. Those of you who know me well, know that I am a total nerd who tries to stay about a month ahead on all of my design team commitments... so you know I was in total panic mode a week ago knowing I didn't have this week's card done yet. So just imagine what that panic turned into when it was yesterday afternoon and I still didn't have today's challenge done. Along with being a total mess, I seem to have lost every bit of creativity I might have had. This card is sort of a picture or me...a little too much, not quite enough, sort of dark, sort of sunny, mixed up and still sort of organized...

So today marks another Jacksonbelle Embellishments challenge. This week the design team was challenged to use these GORGEOUS crocheted flowers on our projects. These flowers are SOOOO incredible. They are handmade by Melody Schwartz (aka lacyquilter on SCSers). They come in packages of 8 flowers for $7.99. Shipping is $2.25 for up to 10 packages. You can pre-order these on the Jacksonbelle website. I also want to mention that all Memory Box items are 30% off, Stickles are 15% off and there are some fabulous new Inkadinkado stamps that were just added to the store.

This is also my card for this week's Madelynn's Twinkling Tuesday sketch (for my card I flipped the sketch on its side)

And...it is also my Little Paper Shop blog flower challenge for this week.

Sorry for the weird formatting but it just figures that Blogger isn't cooperating with me. Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you all have a wonder day.
