Hello!!! This card is one of my favorites I’ve done lately. I love these colors together and it uses one of the new Hero Arts sets I got from Linnecard and some Ranger Crackle Distress Paints. I made this sample for Linnecards sketch challenge this week. Card details:
Pattern Paper: Autumn Leaves
Cardstock: Papertry Ink & Stampin Up
Stamp Set: “Trees, Birds & Messages” Hero Arts
Ink & Coloring: Graphite Black (Brilliance); various Copic markers
Accessories: “Shabby Shutters” (Tim Holtz Distress Crackle paint); brad (Making Memories); Prima Flower; Robin’s Nest bauble; Chipboard name plate (Creative Cuts & More); Pop Dots
Speaking of Linnecard - Sharon is having a 3rd anniversary party on Saturday, March 15 - with an on-line crop, give aways, challenges, games and SALE!!
So our oldest daughter, Courtney, threatened me!!!! saying I had to post seven random facts about myself or she wouldn’t come home in May for a visit……… OK, I’ll see if I can come up with seven.
1) I’m left-handed - to my knowledge, I’m the only one in my immediate family that is left-handed - that includes, mother, father, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews on both mom and dad sides of the family - - - - I like to think I’m the only one in my right mind….
2) I’m the oldest of my siblings
3) I have four brothers - Jeff, Todd, Kyle, & Kelly
4) I was a little bit of a rebel growing up - imagine that!!! My parents wished (prayed) for me to have a daughter - I was blessed with two……
5) I quit high school after the 10th grade - got my GED - and attended a vocational college
6) I got married my first time at 17 - didn’t “have” to - divorced after 4 years - end of that story
7) I took ballet and tap dance lessons for 7 years (as a child) - participated in athletics during jr and sr high school - went to varsity high state championships as a gymnastic competitor when I was a freshman
Well, there you have it…..Come back tomorrow for Blogger’s Challenge…… in the meantime, Enjoy and Create, Lila

oh, oh, oh! I love this Lila! Yikes, another stamp I have to have. Alas, it will have to wait, no money. No job yet. But I will keep it on my radar for the day hubby finds a job! Fabulous Lila! Hope all is well with you!
Hugs,
Amy

Adorable card! I love the touch of the bird “perched” on the sentiment! Just also wanted to say hi, and that I enjoyed talking with you when you stopped by Craft Warehouse! Feel free to email me if you want to chat!
