Hey, everyone! Popping in with a quick post! We head out for vacation bright and early in the AM and I wanted to quickly post this card before I crawl in bed for a few hours. My friend,
Char, inspired me to create a card for the current
Moxie Fab Challenge to incorporate gingham. I love gingham on my projects and needed a get well card for a neighbor so I thought I would play along. This is my first time participating, and my first time inking up this little guy...
...isn't he a cutie? He was stamped on a piece of gingham from
Bety's shop...lots of pretty color swatches on one sheet...I love em!
Melissa Phillips created the sweetest card with these little PTI birdies using clouds and the "under the weather" sentiment for the April release (I think)...I thought then it was the
cutest idea and that I would have to try a version of it for myself...I didn't even go back and look at hers...didn't want to tempt myself to try to recreate anything she had done...
This goes out to my neighbor who has broken her leg for the 3rd time!!! This time she hadn't even gotten rid of her walker from the last break! I know she needs a lift and I think she'll like this.
OK...gotta git! We're off to Jamaica tomorrow!! My kids don't need a cranky mommy getting on and off of airplanes, now do they?! My brother will be holding down the fort for us, but I've not given him blogging instructions, so you won't hear from me for a bit. I know I'm behind on a little visiting...promise to catch up when we get back!! Thanks so much for visiting!!
