Just because

Hey there!

We had a crazy thunder and lightening storm sweep through yesterday afternoon just as I was getting off of work. The rain was coming down so hard that the drive home was actually a bit nerve wracking. Luckily, as fierce as the storm was it blew itself out after just a couple of hours so I didn't have to get soaked taking pup-pup for his walk. :)

Maybe it was the grey skies that had me toning down the color palette on this card or maybe it was just wanting to pull out the What's Up papers from Basic Grey. It's another line with an interesting color combo going on but it's growing on me. I do have one disappointment with it though... see that cloudy sky paper behind Fairy Glenn Charlotte? Basic Grey didn't include that print in the 6x6 paper pad and I was so looking forward to having it in a more scaled down version for my cards. Le sigh, le pout, le boo-hoo. Oh well, at least I had the big 12x12 sheet to play with. And Charlotte does seem right at home in her slightly over cast sky. 

It's time for me to go get ready for the day now. So much to do, so much to do. 
Catch ya later my crafty peeps! :)
