 Hi There-

It has been months since the vampire hours have hit me, and annoyingly they have been here for about a week and a half now.  Typically I sleep from 11:30 pm- 12 am to 7 or 8am with a few wake ups of just minutes during that time.  Right now I am sleeping from 7 or 8 am to noon, then 3 or 4 pm til 10 or 11 pm. Today, I couldn't sleep at all this morning, so I decided to visit my neglected crafty space.


I have two cards for two challenges. 

For Color Hues:


 


For Watercooler Wednesday:


 

 

Thanks so very much for popping by!

I almost emailed you yesterday to see if you were OK. So sorry the sleep issues are back. Gotta say, sleep deprivation doesn't hurt your mojo! These are both wonderful, Cat! Love the simplicity of the first with the added touch of the swirls in the snow drifts & the floral card is gorgeous! Sending hugs, Greta

Two brilliant cards, I particularly like the second one. So sorry to hear those vampire hours are back xx

Betty said...

two lovely cards, Cat - love the classic simplicity of the first one - and the pink and kraft in the second is one of my favorite combos.

Cat, Almost nothing worse than not sleeping. I hope things settle down for you very soon. Although I must say you put your time to very good use though. Love your Christmas card with the rolling hills in more ways than one and your watercolored card is just as lovely as can be. I think scalloped edges are so pretty! Thanks for choosing Color Hues to play along with! Take care!

Jean said...

Hope you are able to find some relief! Beautiful cards for the challenges.

Oh boy! Sleep when you can, Cat!
In the meantime, your cards look like they were made when you were bright-eyed and bushy-tailed!
LOve the kraft so very much!

Two beautiful cards despite being sleep deprived! Love your Christmas card and the sympathy card is just as gorgeous! Thanks so much for joining us at Color Hues!

Two wonderful cards. I understand your problem as I have the same thing and sleep almost the same hours. Take good care.

Karen said...

Sleep issues are awful! Glad they didn't keep you from the craft room. Your first card is a wonderful CAS design and so beautiful! Thanks for joining us at Color Hues!

Both cards are simple, to the point, and wonderful - perfect fits for each challenge. So sorry, Cat, that you have to endure such exhausting hours, hopefully you'll be back to daylight hours soon

Bonnie said...

I have similar sleep problems, Cat! It's so frustrating! It's good you can turn that time into crafting these beautiful cards! Such a pretty silver tree and I love the embossing on the snowbanks! Sweet flowers on the second card!

Cathy said...

Sorry to hear you are having trouble sleeping Cat, but my goodness you've made some lovely cards! I especially love the floral on kraft, it's a beautiful card for the sad occasion. Thankyou too for joining in at Watercooler Wednesday, Cathy x

I empathize on the odd sleep hours, Cat - it hits me too! And yes, crafting works great during those times :) Just love both cards - silver tree in snow bank looks so crisp and the soft sympathy flowers!

I like this simple Christmas card, the silver tree is a nice eye-catcher.

Hannelie said...

Pretty cards for two challenges! We keep similar hours when all is well, but when it's bad it's horrid.
