I am sitting here with the window open just a slight breeze coming through, the birds are chirping and its so peaceful
Yesterday I spent most of it catching up on my card swaps and challenge cards.
Today's card is for "Stick it Down " monthly card challenge
http://stickitdown.blogspot.com/
I have made this card using Kaisercraft "Lollipop" card stock and some scraps from Kaisrcraft "Bombay Sunset" a strip from a Gold Foil Sticker Sheet and Gold Pearls
