Color Throwdown #193 for my Hubby


The lovely Wanda is our Color Throwdown hostess this week with this great color combo above!  For my card, I decided to make something pretty playful with these colors... a card for my sweet hubby.  A little background on my life lately... I had a little scare a few weeks ago with some minor chest pain and discomfort.  Ended up getting checked in the ER, seeing a cardiologist and going through a battery of tests which all showed to be normal.  But, those who know me know that I do not eat healthy nor do I exercise if I can help it!  But with this little scare, and the resulting normal findings I feel like God has given me a second chance to get things right.  So I recently started on a plan to eat healthier and try to get some form of exercise at least 5 times a week.  And my sweet, sweet husband has been so wonderful MANY nights over the past several weeks to load up our bicycles and take me riding on the great bike paths we have in our area, and to be so supportive of my efforts.  So I made this card for him this week, using the Everyday Button Bits stamp set from Papertrey Ink.


Stop over at the Color Throwdown blog for all the challenge details and to link up your own creation.  And visit my Throwdown sisters for more inspiration...




Happy stamping, and thanksabunch!

Glad to hear that you're continuing your exercise plan...I am a bit jealous as there are NO bike trails here and I don't even own a bike!!! So keep up the good work; you can tell your DH to keep the card where YOU can see it as a constant reminder! ♥
