Thanks for the Memories!

Hello There, I am sure you all are enjoying new challenges from many more blogs, Me Too!
When I first saw this challenge/inspirational picture......I got happy happy tears in my eyes just because of the Lord Ganesha and all those colors from India which I missed a lot everyday. I feel so blessed that I have started my new year challenge with some thing which is close to my heart and this challenge is from CR84FN. Thanks a lot to the "Deborah Frings" for my back home memories...........WOW! What a great start.
Winning the challenge is not important here for me now or may be never anywhere but the happiness, a good cry and a beauty is the winner.

Below is the picture of CR84FN 45 Challenge.

The beautiful photos used to create the color graphic are courtesy of CR84FN DT member: Deborah Frings


I just want to share one of my paintings, I hope you will like it.



And I tried to gather all these colors along with my memories. I wish I could have some more accessories to decor this card but still I am so happy with what I got.


I have used............
BasicGray Designer Paper
Recollections Embellishment Flowers
Martha Stewart Crafts Findings Hearts
All three Stampin Up ribbons
Stampin Up stamp for Sentiment 
Some random cardstock for the basic card

Thanks a Lot!
