colourQ 322!

Hello, hello!  I'm back after a bit of a blogging vacation to bring you a new color palette from colourQ!  I can hardly believe that it's been 12 whole days since I've posted anything here and I'm feeling a bit rusty in the ol' craft department.  But here goes!



I liked the celebratory feel of these colorful mason jars so I thought some stars would be a good idea to carry out that theme on my card.  I really need thank you cards after Christmas so I used an old favorite "thank you" sentiment instead of something a little more festive.  Duty calls, after all!

I'm also playing along with the 100th challenge at Can You Case It!  What a fantastic milestone and congratulations to them!


As you can imagine the colourQ design team has made some beautiful cards with these colors so I hope you have a chance to check them out and join us in the gallery with your own creation!  We'd love to see you there!

Thanks for stopping by!
