Sorry...

I haven't created any cards lately! I had my tooth pulled Friday and I didn't feel very well yesterday. I am going Christmas shopping today so I don't know if I will get one done today or not! Is anyone else having trouble with the new blogger template? I loved my background but I deleted it and you can't edit the old templates:( I have been trying so please excuse my ugly looking blog until I get it fixed! Hope you are having a great weekend!

House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge #109-Warm and Fuzzy Guest Design Team Card

Good morning! I had a busy weekend! Last Thursday was my birthday and I basically had a week long celebration! My husband took me to a Bob Seger concert (it was great!) then my daughter and daughter in law took me to see the Breaking Dawn movie and then I went on a bus tour to see the Biltmore House in North Carolina with some friends from work! It was decorated for Christmas and very beautiful! I created this card in between doing all of that! This is my last card as a Guest Design Team Member for November at the House Mouse and Friends Challenge. The theme for this fortnight is Warm and Fuzzy. Here is my card.
I colored this very sweet image with Copic markers. The papers are K&Co Basic Grey and Scenic Route. The saying is Hero Arts and the little flowers around the image are Stamp Tapestry. I added punched flowers, greenery and gems for the middles. I had fun being a Guest Design Team Member at The House Mouse and Friends Challenge. Go check out the awesome talent of the Design Team and join us with some Warm Fuzzies!
I used the sketch at Inspirational Sketch Challenge #140  .
