As tempted as I was to use National Button Day *smile*, I went with November 15th ~ I love to Write Day! My card was a challenge for me in many ways - I wanted to combine a few challenges that I've been meaning to play in and managed all but one (the sketch!) Without further adieu, here is my card using the color combo challenge #13 from Color Me Beautiful, an image from Dearie (it's absolutely free!) and my flower! I'm so proud of my little lilac! See, the TAT challenge for the Stamp Addicts Blogging Group awhile back was to make a card with hand-made flowers and I have been waiting to use mine :) I'm so very tickled with these flowers because I made them with love and lots of laughs with my daughter ~ we made a series of flowers in shapes and sizes and I confess, we had more glue and glitter in our hair, clothes and floor than anywhere else but what fun we had! :)
from the Brocade Background, Kiwi Kiss and Thoroughly Modern colletions and all SU cardstock (but PTI white). And that's my post for today! I hope you get a chance to stop by and see what the other Calendar Girls posted today in the wonderful world of wacky holidays :)
Big hugs,
Bigger Blessings!

Such a very cute card and great combination of the challenge colors - thanks so much for playing along with CMB.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous work on this delightful card, Kelly!! Every detail precise and perfect!!
ReplyDeleteOh Kelly I love this sweet card! It is so adorable. I am going to use this layout...i love me some layers and all those different pieces of designer papers! Fabulous card all the way around.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day you discovered! I have never heard of it, but love it! I have 3 pen pals and love to write letters. I started this through one of my favorite artists Susan Branch's website. They really promote the art of handwritten letters and cards. Scarey that in some of the NYC schools they are not teaching cursive writing anymore. Sad to me. My two sisters teach in one of those schools. I know that the computer is the wave of the future, but still. Your card is a gem and I love that image too!
ReplyDeleteKelly, these colors look fabulous together and what a special little day to be celebrating. Perfect image for it.
ReplyDeleteKelly,so glad you played along with us!! Your card is so sweet and I LOVE that flower!! Fabulous combination of papers (as always!) and your image is perfect for the holiday!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining us at Color Me Beautiful!!
oooh, even though the colors are muted, this is such a cheerful card!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute. I love the soft colors you used for the image.
