Happy Monday....before I get to my card, I wanted to thank everyone for the incredible birthday surprise and all the wonderful cards and messages. I was truly over whelmed! I had a fabulous weekend, spent time with my mom on Saturday having a wonderful lunch and Sunday my husband and daughter took me to Berkeley for some fabric shopping at StoneMountain, love this place! And it rained today too....just love it when it rains!
On to my card, it's time again for some new inspiration from The Challenge. Don't you just love these colors, the pink and orange are so amazing and once I saw them I knew I had to pull out some NBUS, Painted Petals from PTI. What a fabulous stamp set...I cas'd Kay Miller's card, hers is here. I love this set and can't wait to play with it again and change up the colors. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...wishing you a fabulous week!
