Love for Black & White....

Good Thursday Morning Everyone!
Wow, I'm really tired today!! Yesterday consisted of grocery shopping, babysitting, laundry and doing the last minute things for my class today. I don't think I took a real deep breath to relax at all and I'm paying for it right now.....I'll pop a few Vitamin Bs before I exercise & I should start to feel better....we'll see!!

I'm showing you a card I made for a sketch challenge on SCS. I actually flipped mine and used one of my fave color combos....black & white with a pop of red. These colors make your card very elegant to me and now I have to figure out what occasion I could use it for! I'll be thinking on that for a bit....any ideas?? I used some dp my friend Krista sent me along with some jewels I received in a secret exchange. The Embrace Life ss is gorgeously elegant & it's so easy to add just that *touch* of color. I really didn't have room for my sentiment when I was all done but I squeezed it on there anyway LOL!!

I'm off to another busy day, however; it'll be a lot slower & much more fun than yesterday!! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great rest of the day.
TTFN,
Hugs,
