Good morning, Friends! Well it's Friday. And normally I would be thrilled like most of you are but this signals the closing to my spring break. I have thoroughly enjoyed it! And it looks as if the weather may start to cooperate and finally get warmer. We will see. My massage therapist says that there always seems to be one last big spring snow storm. I hope not this year. Anyway, it will be a push to the end of the year but I can do it! I feel energized and revitalized. This afternoon I am getting together with my friend Becky to make some of those cool rag purses that are so popular right now. I will post a picture in the next day or two. I am really excited about trying this out!

Today's card is one that I made up earlier this week. I played along in a challenge that was posted on Stampin' Connection. This is a website for demonstrators only. There was a challenge on there to 'CASE' a card from Gretchen Barron but change a few things to make it your own. Here is the card that I chose to 'CASE'. As you can see I changed quite a few things but I did keep the general layout and color scheme. I love this piece of designer paper from the Sending Love specialty designer paper series pack. This is also the card that I took to my shoebox club last night. I think they liked it, too. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your Friday!
