you make me happy...

Monday...Monday...

I had a pretty productive weekend, did you? I still think that there aren't enough hours in the day...

Today's card is a fun mix of 2 challenges:

Embellish Color Challenge with Stitching

and...

FTL#84

This is what I came up with...

Such fun challenges...the sketch was perfect for what I had in mind. The colors are delish, aren't they? The blue paper is from a K&Co boxed set that I just LOVE...it's something that I go to when I can't seem to find the right papers...the pink polka dot frame is a MME's diecut...the feltie bird is ala American Arts...I stitched around the blue panel with pink thread and I was lucky, the bird has stitching on her too!

Everything is nestled on a Speckletone Craft base...

♥♥RAK Alert♥♥


Call me a lucky duck...you ladies know how to make my day...a chandie? How did Heidi know??!! Thanks sista...it is perfect!
