Happy Friday!!

Welcome to my blog, I am so happy you found me today! I am on a gigantic learning curve and I am so thankful to everyone who is sending me such encouraging comments and helpful hints along the way. With out the support of those of you in blog world I wouldn't have gotten as far as I have in such a short time.  I love that so many of you have joined me in this journey, and look forward to the future with great delight. If you aren't a follower, please consider doing so now, and follow me by email...I would be honored to have you with me on this great adventure.

Today I created 2 thank you cards for friends of my hubby.  I like to start with a sketch, then work from there.  I used Sketch #75 by Dawn from  http://www.papertakeweekly.blogspot.ca/2013/01/sketch-free-for-all-time-again.html    as my inspiration.  Although my card changed somewhat from the sketch I still want to acknowledge Dawn for the awesome sketch that sparked my creativity this afternoon.

The patterned papers I used were from a 180 page Textured Pad from Joanne's Fabric, and the card stock  was from Michael's.  The little stamp comes from a set I got at Walmart.  The little flower is from a Prima Flower Set. The button is from my button box!  This is a very simple card, and yet is very effective.  My hubby was quite pleased with it and that made me very happy!! I hope his friends will enjoy it too!

Thank you so much for joining me today. I have absolutely been loving this card making journey. It has been challenging my brain in such new ways and that is such a good thing.  Please be sure to swing by the following blogs and give the the members of the design teams some encouragement for their beautiful work and commitment to our card making.

These are the challenges I am entering this card in:
