Just Breathe for CI24

I took a break from Christmas specific cards for today's challenge and used the color from Color Inkspiration #24 to create a card for someone who needs a break from everyday life.  That actually could be lots of people I know at this time of year.  Christmas is a wonderful celebration and can be a good time with friends and family.  It can also be added stress.  So, here's wishing all of you a moment to "just breathe."  Christmas Eve is tomorrow followed by Christmas Day on Monday.  Whatever you have done at this point, it's enough.  Take a moment to sit down, relax, and enjoy all that is happening around you.  Take a nap, cuddle with family, play, relax, breathe.  If you are alone this Christmas, still take time to relax and breathe and enjoy the time off.  Look around you and give thanks for all the blessings that surround you right now.

 I used the Colorful Seasons bundle to make waves out of pool party and tranquil tide, a beach chair out of Cherry Cobbler cardstock, and a yummy pink lemonade out of blushing bride cardstock.  I took a piece of crumb cake cardstock and tore one edge to make the sand at the edge of the shore.
