Monday, Monday

Hey there! What a beautiful day! We have temps in the 80's. Yeah! I finally washed my car after weeks of it being covered in filth. I wanted to wash it sooner but the weather has been temperamental. Every time I wanted to wash it, the forecast threatened rain.  We did have storms  several days but  today I bit  the bullet  and washed it.  Now if we could have a few days without rain. Oh wait. I am house sitting for someone so maybe not. That means I have to go water the plants. :-(  

A big surprise for me yesterday when I saw my card was the winner of the COTW  at 2S4Y!  I am still reeling with delight.  :-)  This card today is based off of Laura's sketch for the week.  I also added TSTR's "a little metal" challenge.  Lots of eyelets and  a rhinestone brad.  I was happy to see this challenge because I needed to use those neglected metal pieces in my stash. 

I made this as a thank you for Amy Heller.  I won a HUGE box of yumminess from her blog recently and she sent me almost everything I used on this card.  Lots of cardstock, chipboard, stamps, lace, ribbon, etc.  It was 13 pounds of happiness!  I am still going through and ohhing and ahhing.  I see something I missed each time.  This card uses lots of Crate Paper.   A line my LSS doesn't seem to carry much of so I was thrilled to receive it. 

Thanks for stopping by!  I appreciate it!
