Time For Some Therapy!!! RESQ59

Oh we all need some "me time"!!!! Mental health is just as important as any other health issue....maybe more!!! I don't know about you all........but this summer was far from relaxing!!! LOL Now that we have our daughter moved into her dorm room and our son scheduled with his homeschooling for the year......it's time for some stampin' time to enjoy the things I love and renew and refresh!!

This challenge has such potential for huge variety!!! What helps rejuvenate you?? This card shows 2 types of therapy for me............ 1) Coloring with my Copics, which I find very therapeutic!! 2) PINK!!! Yes, I do so LOVE my pink!!! It makes me happy!!!! So my challenge to you is to indulge in some "you time" and show what your therapy is!! It could be a stamping technique, a favorite image or color, or something else!!!!

I used the Rubber Stampede Wild Rose background stamp and Gina K. Designs Pure Luxury cardstock in White, Wild Dandelion and Grass Green. I really enjoy my quiet stamping time just coloring and listening to music!! My music....not my teenagers'!! LOL

Take A Mental Health Break!!!

Howdy friends!!!! I'm baaaack!!!! Life has been a crazy ride indeed...........but one thing that is completely necessary in order not go off the deep end............is a mental health break now and then!!! Besides just stamping in general being my sanity saver...........I especially get such a smile and mood-lift when I use pastel colors...........I don't know...........it just seems to make me feel happy!!! Could be that I live where we have 8 months of winter! LOL Now I LOVE winter...........but I do need to see pretty colors and flowers too!!! And bling.........now any of you who know me know I ADORE my bling!!!! LOL

This Friday's challenge is two-fold...........1. Use pastels.........2. Use an image (or more) that makes you smile!! What better prescription could you get for your mental health??? Something that brings you a smile simply to look at!!! I guarantee you will feel happy as work away on this challenge!!!
