Color Throwdown #173 PLUS Some Exciting News!!!

Hello and Happy 2012!  Did you miss me?  I took a nice little break while my kiddos were out of school for the holidays.  We had lots of fun getting ready for Christmas and spending some time in Jacksonville with my family.  My hubby was off this past week, so we had more wonderful family time!  I also read The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins over the break.  They were soooo GOOD!!!  I read all three books within a week, and now I can't wait to see the movie!  

You may have noticed that we've switched things up a little bit at Color Throwdown.  This year, we are not only going to be giving you the color swatches, but we will also have an inspiration picture to go with them~fun!  Our lovely hostess this week is Barbara and she came up with a great combo for the New Year!  This is what I came up with:

 I used this darling image from Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps called Celebrating Chloe along with some dp from My Mind's Eye~Lost & Found Union Square.  If you'd like to play along, just upload your creation to the Color Throwdown Blog HERE!

Speaking of Sparkle Creations, I'm so excited to announce that Sparkle invited me to join her amazing Design Team!!!  This is one of my dream gigs, so I was super stoked when she asked me~thank you woman!

I'm also so incredibly excited to announce that I am also joining the Tickled Pink Stamps Design Team!  Being a Pink Lady is another one of my dream gigs, so I am feeling amazingly blessed right now!

I'm looking forward to this fun and busy year.  I haven't made a lot of resolutions, but the one thing I am determined to do is GET BACK TO THE GYM!!!  I've been terrible about going since my thyroid surgery, and then I got really sick for much of December, and then I thought I broke my toe (it's still a little swollen and sore) but I'm pretty much back to normal and I need to lose the 10 pounds I put back on over the last few months:(  On a brighter note, the new season of The Bachelor started on Monday which is my favorite show LOL!  Looks like another season full of drama~love it!

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful Wednesday!
