<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> I had these cute papers I had purchased at a craft store and made my own computer sentiment with the simple word, "Mahalo", which means "Thank You" I cut the flowers out from a second image and glue them down to give a bit of depth. I had a wonderful starfish charm that fit perfect with the twine on this 5.5 X 5.5 card,</span></div>

<br />
Hi everyone!! It's almost Christmas and though we all have family and friends we enjoy spending time with at this time of the year, we also have family and friends that we don't see or visit with often enough but still mean just as much to us! Us gals on the Design Team of <a href="http://scrapbitzcopics.ning.com/">Color Me Creative Challenge Site </a>wanted to take a moment to say send a big HUG and a special thanks to our fearless leader, <span style="color: red;"><b>Suzanne Dean</b></span>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ytxRjm1U4JA/UrYmfHeBiLI/AAAAAAAAG4k/XwDoY8I8eF8/s1600/1277460_10151654504140998_1708007892_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ytxRjm1U4JA/UrYmfHeBiLI/AAAAAAAAG4k/XwDoY8I8eF8/s320/1277460_10151654504140998_1708007892_o.jpg" width="222" /></a></div>
<br />
Suzanne HAS to be the easiest and sweetest person to work with and, as many of you know from reading her blog, about the funniest too (though sometimes we ALL think she'd be better off leaving the house in bubble wrap! LOL) *Kidding!!* <br />
<br />
As you may have figured out, Suzanne adores the time she spends with her family and quite often shares her travels and outings with us. So, as a little way to encourage her to continue doing what she loves best AND to keep sharing it with us... the DT would like to invite you to share in our little blog hop sharing our creations for Suzanne that remind us of family, sharing, recording memories and love. Suzanne is a perfect example of how to share as much time as you can with those you love and to create memories that will last a lifetime for generations to come.<br />
<br />
So here's to you, Suzanne... we love you, your crazy ways and think you are just like family to us as well. <br />
I had an extremely hard time with this card, I think it was just hard with the holiday coming for me, and normally I go all out with embellishments but as I have so much on my plate right now, I kept it simple since I had to recolor like 7 times, yes 7.......we won't go there right now Bahahaha<br />
I used Wee Stamps "<a href="http://www.weestamps.com/?page_id=27"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Berry</span></a>" , as I know how much Suzanne loves her kittys! and this looked like my perfect choice! The paper is from Stampin Up Christmas paper from this year:-) Lighting here today was also not my friend, I think it was a total off day for me, for sure!<br />
Anyway Suzanne you know how much I love you Honey and thank you for all you do for all of us on the DT! I enjoy the "family of Friends" you have put together xoxo<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">Hi Everyone</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">I'm finally here with a new post for</span> <a href="http://scrapbitzcopics.ning.com/group/cmccopicchallengegroup"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"><b>Color Me Creative Challenge</b></span></a>:-)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">I am so sorry I have been MIA but I have had some family things that needed my attention, and I am slowly getting back to my crafting!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">The new challenge that just started for CMC is:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">I decided to use a Sassy Cheryl image called <b><a href="http://www.sassycherylsstamps.com/collections/newest/products/sallys-fall-pumpkin">Sally's Fall Pumpkin</a></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">I used a Recollection's paper pack that I had bought quite awhile ago, since looking through all my paper, this was the only "Fall color theme" I had, and it looks pretty good I think:-) </span><br />

It's Michele here with my card for today's post at <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><a href="http://thepapernestdolls.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">The Paper Nest Dolls</span></a></b></span>, </span> and its using "<a href="http://stamps.the-papernest.com/product/buildascarecrow/"> Build A Scarecrow</a>."
