You asked for it. You wished for it. Now it is here. TGIF...thank God it's Friday! This morning after reading the news, I called out to my DH who was still in the bed to tell him "The Thrill Is Gone"! He immediately asked me if I was talking about B.B. King. Couldn't fool him. He may have been informed earlier than I had by watching the early, early news on the TV. We (collectively all of us) get bored often when the passion of something new has worn off. Yes, the thrill is gone, now what? We have created these bucket lists of things to do before we die and as soon as we get one thing done, the thrill is gone. Have you had a chance to zip ride, to ride on the steepest roller coaster, to skydive, to run with the bulls, to swim with great white sharks, to ice swim, to go white water rafting or to kayak over a waterfall? As soon as you do....the thrill is gone. Your first time cannot be lived all over again. Get a new car and ride around for a month free with no payment...the thrill is gone when you make that first monthly payment. In card making, if you don't change up with a different sketch, design, bling, color, ink, stamp, etc....the thrill is gone....the thrill is gone away.
Here is my share for today:

So pretty! Love your take on the Bokeh theme! Thanks for joining our challenge this month at House of Cards. Graciellie Design
Love the tons of creativity and dimension on these cards!! LOVELY!!
Was sad to hear that BB King was gone ... but is he really? A very talented artist who influenced many people within the music industry ... but I understand your statement about the "Thrill being gone" and now I am thinking about my "Bucket list" - LOL.
Gorgeous cards!
