Everyone seems to have some sort challenge now and I just love to win blog candy ... so I am playing along. Then I donate what I do not use to OWH hoping to give a little joy.
I made this card from an Hero Art stamp It,s A Parade (not new) but still very fun. The sentiments and Poppy colored layering paper are from Hero Arts as well. The patterned paper is from Papertrey Ink Summer Sunrise. Neenah cream cardstock.
So check these blogs for fun and inspiration!

OWH SKETCH 125
This week sketch at OWH. They changed the web site at bit and reorganized everything. Loved the sketch...I used My Minds Eye paper so pretty and summery love this paper! The flower portion came from the back side of the polka dot paper. The small "squares " are the Stampin Up postage stamps , now that makes this easy:)
