Thank Ewe

Many moons ago, Main Squeeze, Princess A and I hosted an Open House. At that point we had owned our new home for 10 months, so it was time. Here we are two months later and I still owe some thank you notes. All I can say is we never expected gifts, and the stamp room was in complete disarray (Hence the sporadic blog posts for such a long time) Fortunately Scrappy came to the rescue!

My one goal for this week was to complete a card for the Crafty Hos. After all, I am supposed to be a member of the DT. Now that Princess A is back in school,  and I have had some time, I was able to finally organize the stamp room with my new storage units (I ♥ The Container Store!). It is not quite done, but I can walk across the floor without injuring myself or breaking anything, and I can easily access all of my supplies! As Princess A mentioned the other day upon glancing in, "wow, this room is cleaner than it has been since we moved in!"


This weeks Crafty Ho Challenge is a Sketch Challenge:

Immediately, I thought of the farm as the main image. The rest followed from there. Princess A looked at the card for several moments and stated, "I don't get it".

I really need to find a "Thank Ewe" stamp.

Hi Gael, I'm visiting Forest Blogs this AM and stopping by to say HI! Waving to the Princess as well. This is a great card and you colored it perfectly to match the DP.
Read your following post RE: Dogs and tend to think that they just allow us to think we're superior!
Hugs,

I'm blurfing this morning and I could have sworn I already left a comment on this super-cute card!

Love those adorable images, and your choice of colors adds to the country feel. And the eyelets are a nice change from brads! (I would have been too lazy to pull out my Crop-a-Dile. LOL!) Great job with the sketch layout! :-)
