This week, our neighbour gave us a children's outdoor table and chairs set. It came with good timing, as I had been looking for one on ebay and hadn't had any luck!
Another lot of good timing came in the form of 'hand-me-down' clothing just as my oldest daughter was starting to outgrow the size twos! So, rather than spending heaps at the shops, I was able to get her whole (nearly) size three wardrobe for a fraction of the price.
I drew my inspiration for this card from three sources. The first being The Paper Players Challenge #50 - Kind Thanks. They are right, there is nothing quite like receiving and giving a little something in the letter box.
The second source was the sketch at Mojo Monday 194.
The third source was the lovely colour combination at The Colour Throwdown #145.
I enjoyed making this card and I hope the two ladies receiving them (along with some home made biscuits) realise how much their kindness is appreciated.
Stamps: Celebrate Everyday (Stampin' Up!) and Wishes All 'Round (Fiskars)
Ink: Pear Pizazz and Baja Breeze (SU)
Card: Baja Breeze (SU)
Paper: Pear Pizazz and So Saffron DSP (SU)
Embellishments: So Saffron brads, Pear Pizazz ribbon, flower ribbon slide (SU); blue ribbon.
This is so soft and pretty! Thanks for playing Mojo Monday!
