is Morning Soft (retired) and since I have been in the coloring mood, I decided to play with it too. This image is also colored in with Colored Pencils.
I really like how Bashful Blue and Not Quite Navy team together. After coloring my image, I cut it out and popped it onto a pc of Whisper White. I chose not to have a traditional mat of Night of Navy underneath and used my Candy Dots to accent the mat as well as the image. I tried layering a strip of cardstock underneath the image but found the silky look of the ribbon was the needed touch.
I wanted to update those of you that follow along with me on my blog. Today is Day 20!!! Whew, the last few days have really been difficult to get thru without smoking. I don’t understand why it seems to be getting harder... but I am fighting thru it. Those that know, say oh it gets easier... yeah right, well it isn’t for me. But I am enjoying that extra money each week, *smile* but it isn’t enough to take the urge away. So send me those good vibes. *smile* I spent yesterday with my son Wes and my awesome granddaughter, Paige. We went to lunch at Applebee’s and did a few errands. Those are my favorite kind of days! My plan is to do some organizing and cleaning in my Studio this morning before heading to work. So I best get on my way.

20 days, wow that is great - keep up the work....just don't light up...this minute, hour, day, week, how ever long you can go....it is sooooo worth it in the long run. You can do this - oh yes you can.
Hershey's makes a hard candy that I used sometimes, or brush your teeth when you get the urge...that helps. Way to go Carla

20 days will turn into 20 years!!! You Go Girl you can do it, I know you can!!!
Gorgeous card too!!!
Hang in ther Carla - think of your beautiful grandaughter - you can do it! And I will think of your beautiful card - love the blue!
I just finished going through all your past posts and enjoying all your cards. Thank you for all the inspiring ideas. I am looking forward to seeing more of your posts.
Congratulations on making the decision to quit smoking. You may not realize that your furniture has a cigarette smell and that could be triggering cravings. And if you had a morning routine like sitting at your kitchen table and drinking coffee and having a cigarette, move to a different chair. Changing routines might help break the habit. Good Luck, you can do it.
You are doing so well! You are an awesome stamper, and now an awesome non smoker!
My mom and dad both quit after almost 30 yrs of smoking. I know you can do this!!
Sending you strength and big hugs!!
Keep up the good work, Carla! In addition to the health benefits, think how you can use the extra money to buy more stamping supplies...or even to head off to Convention!
Congratulations on day 20!
What a beautiful card... the coloring is amazing.
I love the placement of your brads, too.
Beautiful coloring Carla! This is lovely.
Yowza, Carla! That is one gorgeous bloom. Lovely, lovely, lovely...just like you! XO

zoinks . . . there are those colored pencils again. What polish and beauty! Is it easier than it looks?
Hugs, M
wow , this is so beautiful !... your work is such an inspiration
Just came across your blog, thanks to Stampin' Connections and I love it! You are so very creative, thanks so much for sharing. I read that you quit smoking and I hope that you have stuck with it and are finding it easier. My mom quit after 40 years, after many, many attempts....she had to have surgery and was told that she would probably end up on a respirator if she didn't quit for 3 months before the surgery. Just another reason to hang in there! ~grin~
