Incy Wincy Designs has a fun challenge. I use the color combo, such a rich color combo :)

Artful Inkables asks for some project that related with the 2010 resolutions. One of my resolution is to renew my love for Nadia, since it has been the hard years in facing her temper tantrum phase :) I won't waste my love for her with too much negative attitude, I'll try to be more patient for her. That's why I use recycled paper for the sentiment frame which is related with One Stop Challenge. Furthermore, this resolution fits to play along in Everybody Art Challenge ^_^.
