We did it!

OH, my goodness, than you all SO MUCH! Your votes got me into Round 3 of the Paper Crafts Gallery Idol competition! I am SO STINKING EXCITED!!! I can't even thank you all enough! Our next challenge is a fun one, too, so I'm really looking forward to working on that this weekend!

So...this morning, I had the privilege of LITERALLY being on Cloud 9 after hearing the announcement! Yup...fog. Lots of it. LOL! My drive in was covered with a thick, dense fog that was actually absolutely beautiful! The sun was working SO hard to shine through it. It was really a very neat experience. And then...all of the sudden, I drove out of the cloud and the sky burst into blue radiance and the sun shone brightly and I felt like the sky was just greeting me with a great big, "Hello! Good Morning, Massachusetts!" It was brilliant! So beautiful! Just one of those times when you have to thank God for being pretty cool. Just say'n.

Cloudy Get Well


My card for today is a cloudy one, but still full of cheerful color! I had color on the brain last weekend after the GI challenge! LOL! For this one I stamped the clouds from the Bella Blvd. Sunny Happy Skies set by Unity in different colors and cut each one out to mount to the card. I chose a colored background *gasp!* for this card and I think it works pretty well. The Get Well sentiment is from the Samantha Walker Encompassed Grace set! I love it! Such a pretty font!

Cloudy Get Well (detail)


A sketchy outline around each cloud and the entire card grounds the elements and offers a playful twist! This one was pretty fun to do!

And...before I leave, thank you again, for your votes for Gallery Idol! I am so excited and so honored to be moving on to the next round. Now...Let's DO THIS!!!!

Jingle Out!
