Bloom

Morning friends!  We're gearing up for a massive hurricane here in Jersey that has been heading up the coast.  The rain is starting and the clouds are rolling in.  We're told that we'll have nasty weather until Saturday/Sunday when the worst of the hurricane will hit our area.  We've already gotten the phone call from our township urging us to prep for the worst, and I am praying that it won't be as bad as they are expecting.

So in order to chase the clouds away and bring some sunshine home, I made this card for the Progressive Challenge over at Designed2Delight using this adorable stamp from Faith! 

I based the card on the color scheme over at CR84FN Color Challenge which I absolutely adore:

As well as the new Wednesday Sketch Challenge (rotated) at The Outlawz which is:

Hoping wherever you are, this brought some sunshine to your home, too :)

  7. It certainly did bring some sunshine, Sara. Lemon yellow, gingham check and daisies - what's not to love!

    Thanks for commenting on my blog. You always leave such sweet sugar.

    Blessings on your home and family as you prepare to meet the storm. May it lose strength as it approaches and then skip over your house. I ask this in the perfect Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

    Hugs,
    Teresa

All of those wonderful flowers with their bright yellow centers against that fabulous yellow gingham...too much fun. Just brings a smile to your face to look at it.
