Keep Calm

I've been in kind of a funk lately and have just felt like crying!  I don't know if it's this dreary weather we have been having or what. I just have just felt blah.  I am not one who likes to share my feelings with others, so today I wanted to make a card to express how I feel.  I combined the sketch from retro sketches with the color combo from colourQ. 

The colors have a halloween feel to them, which to me was fitting for my card because halloween is a dreary time of year in my opinion!  This sketch is so cute and I will definitely be using it again.  I feel I didn't do it justice with my "sad day" card. :) 

Looking at this card when it was all finished actually helped me to feel a little bit better!  The colors are pretty bright and cheery and the sentiment made me realize that it's okay to cry sometimes.  It's the "keep calm" part that I sometimes struggle with. :)  Luckily I have cardmaking to get me out of these funks!  It is so nice to have a hobby like this where you can do whatever you want to do without being judged by others.  Ahhhh, I feel better already!
