Feel Better Soon - Card Concept, Color Throwdown, Inkspiration

Well I finally got some real crafting time in.

last week was crazy as I had Jury duty half of the week, 

half days and then went to work late....

The week before was great, but I really don't craft 

at all when I am away

on vacation...

so now I am struggling to get caught up

in all aspects the regular grind.

Soon I should be at full speed....I hope.

A few challenges that inspired me this week.
