Sorry for your loss

Hello blog friends! I hope everyone is doing well!
I wanted to share a card that I made with a couple of challenges in mind!

And the colors are from CR84FN Color Challenge:

This turned out to be a very simple card, but a difficult card for me to do!
I don't know if it was the colors, or what! Or my creative juices just weren't wanting to work!
In the end it turned out prettier than what I had anticipated, but not like what I had envisioned!
Do you ever have one of those days????



I hope the ghosts and goblins don't scare you too much tonight! hoohahaha!!!!!!!!
This is my little Goblin!


Happy Halloween!

Stunning card. Love the layered circles. I thought WOW WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CARD when I first looked at it....then I read your posting....glad I'm not the only one who is having a creative block. I worked on a GDT card for 4 days and am not sure I like it. Grrrr

I think it must be a Halloween trick or something, so many creative blocks going around, myself included! But this is one wonderful card Mackie...no block showing here!!!

Oops...almost forgot...your little unicorn goblin is a cutie pie!!!

Awww! Your little goblin makes such a cute unicorn! And, your card is stunning! Love the soft look of the card, the double layered die cuts and the gray sponging on the sentiment layer--your card almost glows. I, too, make a lot of cards that don't turn out like I expect. It's funny how your creative brain just takes over, isn't it? Thanks for joining us at CR84FN! ~Hugs, Cheryl

Your poor dog!!! Did he enjoy himself? So, so cute!

And your card is just lovely - very pretty - I like the accent pearls on your sentiment label. Thanks so much for playing along with CR84FN!

Beautiful card. I think that this color scheme is nice for a sympathy card--the yellow could kind of symbolize the light after the sadness. Thank you for sharing! :)

Lovely sympathy card, Mackie! Your pup is just the cutest! Thanks for joining us at CR84FN!

Mom, dont think of them as creative blocks, just chances to slow down. It is the slow downs that allow creativity to grow. When I was in school if one of my paintings turned out exactly as I envisioned it, that usually meant that it was too easy. It meant there was no challenge involved. We need the challenges to continue to be innovative and create. I love you!
