Well this card should be arriving at it's recipient's home any day now (darn slow Canada Post and with this crazy amount of snow, it's almost expected that everything will be slower than a snail's pace).
I brought out my Happy Hello set and inked up the flower from Amazing Wishes and used the Viva La Verve January Week 1 sketch to pull together a card for a special friend who never ceases to amaze me with her Divalicious creations and amazing sense of style. She's truly an inspiration, both personally and creatively.
On a personal note, I'm about done with this stinking snow - another 5cm anticipated today and because it's so darn fluffy, every time I shovel it onto a pile, it creates a mini-landslide and just makes more of a mess it seems. ARGH! That, combined with my Patriot loss (Yay for Andrea, whose Jets won) made for a crummy Sunday. However in an attempt at positivity, I'm going to share my Friday discovery. I opened some mail on Friday I shouldn't have (not that I knew at the time), but I discovered my birthday gift - and for as frustrated as I was with MrP for not even wanting to discuss a road bike for me in December, I think I can stop complaining - pretty sure he bought me the one I was drooling over! We've agreed for me to 'forget' what I think I saw....but I have a feeling this summer's going to be wonderful! Now if only it would stop snowing.
Stamps: Verve Happy Hello, Amazing Wishes
Paper: Ginger Blossom DP, Cameo Coral, River Rock, Ruby Red, Groovy Guava

LOVE this! That flower matches the paper to perfection and you really rocked the sketch! Really great card all around. Sorry the Pats lost. Even my hubby was wanting a win for them :(
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely fabulous, Tanis!! Love the DPs you used and well done with that layout! Hoping this made it over the mountains okay ;)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you have had still more snow :( Though I must say I would much rather shovel dry snow that the 8 inches of very wet snow we got last week! That was quite the work out!!!
