Being thankful

Hi everybody, I hope you had a good start this week.
I've spent some time in my craft room on Sunday and I made several cards. 
I think the cards I most frequently give besides birthdays is 'Thank you' ones. Last week a very nice (and famous) crafter send me a bag of goodies that I won as a candy from her blog, the same day my husband came from work with a key chain that one of his co-workers brought for me from Mexico. Those two little  things  just made my day, so I'm sending cards to these two nice people.
I used the sketch from Retro Sketches # 59 for this one

I'm also entering this one into Simon Says Stamps Challenge, Spring flowers.
 
And this sketch from CAS-e this sketch for this one. .
 









Unusual colors for me on this one, but I'm challenging myself to leave my comfort zone.
Thanks for visiting, have a blessed rest of the week.
