The Challenge #23


Hello and Happy Monday...so sorry my post is up late today. I have a nasty cold and it has really kicked my butt! So glad my card was ready to go but just had no energy to get to my computer to write my post for The Challenge #23. So this will be a quick one today....this weeks colors are so vibrant & beautiful and I love the sketch and I was trying to combine them but it just did not work out. I did get to use some NBUS on my card, these sweet little house from Stamplorations, it is the first set I have purchased from them and it is just so darn cute. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy the rest of your day.

  12. Oh, darn, Kim, I'm so sorry to hear you have a nasty cold. I sure hope it doesn't turn into the super virus that's going around. I'll say a prayer for you! Your card is precious between the stitched borders and the fluffy clouds and the cute houses in their fun colors! Look again - I'll bet your own card could cheer you up and make you feel better just by looking at it! Take care and get well!! Hugs, Darnell

  15. Such a cute little hood. You have the perfect sentiment to complement it! And I love your clouds. I intended to stamp some faint ones on my "welcome to the hood" card and got so carried away on my sentiment, I forgot!

  16. This is so cute! Love the clouds and now perfectly you've overlapped the two! This looks like it would be a lovely street to live on, with nice neighbors who bake cookies and share :)

    Hope you're feeling better soon!

  17. Oh honeygirl! I hope you're feeling better by this morning!! If you've got the cold I had in December, I should warn you that I'm still coughing a little bit, as are the Sunday school kids who so kindly shared, lol! Take care of yourself!!! Your card is so sweet! Saw this set and am really tempted; even more so now after seeing what you've done with it! Love the dimension you've got with those clouds and the pierced rectangle. Well done, my friend. Missing you. Bev
