Hello-
Its been a very long time since I posted with any regularity. I finally unpacked my crafty boxes…all 45. The crafty space is not photo sharing ready…that will take a few more months. But for now, everything has a place…I just need to remember where. LOL.
Along with our move to Ohio, my sweet crafty friend Peggy passed this month. Its been tough.
On to happier things. I was excited to see Michele’s sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. I thought it would be a good one for me to dip my toes in as I get back into this wonderful hobby.
I made the sketch taller in my head while designing the card and kept the same elements along the right side. These are all bits that were in various envelopes from goodies stamped and sent to me over the last decade.
It was a learning curve for sure. Took me 3 hours to get this done...and I only stamped and cut the sentiments, and colored and fussy the image. It took a while to feel comfy at my desk and then finding everything. But, I did it I got a card made and will try another tomorrow and on from there.
Hopefully I can get back to my 30 minute cards, and find my light box!

Such an adorable card. I love that you have used a pop of color with the balloons and kept the card mostly white. Lots of wonderful work here, and great take on the challenge. Thanks so much for playing along with us over at Can You Handle the Pressure. I hope we see you back again soon!
