You know what I hate? When I blog that I really like goes dead. No warning No lead-in to allow me to get used to it. No time to mourn. In saying that, I really don't know that this blog has anyone that feels even remotely that way, but I was reminded of my blog a few weeks ago by someone who followed it before I dropped into the abyss. So what happened? If you care, in 2014 I was finishing a gruelling master's program. Upon finishing that I basically entered into a bit of a hibernatory state. I kept making cards but was so freaking drained from school that I didn't have the energy to post again. That fall my school amalgamated with another and I then had almost 300 kids to track instead of 150. That was an adjustment! And then in 2015 we bought a new (super old) house. Since June we've been up to our eyeballs in renovations. In between I have also managed to fit in a bit of traveling (Equador - Galapagos Islands!; Nicaragua; Costa Rica; Mexico). We're still in the middle of renovations (it currently sounds like I'm in the middle of a construction zone.... Oh. Wait. I am.) but I'm ready to come back to the blogging world!
This card is made using a set from the new catalogue. I. Love. It. Though I can't say that it's going to take the place of Gorgeous Grunge as my favourite, it's going to be a close call. I started out my making something entirely different, but just wasn't feeling it. Through a series of small changes I ended up with a completely different card - this little gem. I'm loving it. I can see that it would be lovely in a variety of different colour combos... Might have to try one with Island Indigo next...
So, for anyone that's still around, thanks for reading!
