Hugs & Kisses

I consider it very fortunate that my at-home schedule has recently given me some extra time to venture into my crafty space and make some cards just for fun.  I'm sure no one will blame me if that "extra time" comes at the expense of not doing a little dusting!  So let's get to my card for today.

The sketch at As You See It, along with the "heart" challenge at CAS on Sunday, and the "plaid" challenge at Cupcake Inspirations collide with my card.



And can I just say how much I love the inspiration photo for the Cupcake Inspirations challenge.  When I was a teenager I had a skirt and jacket outfit that was the exact plaid of the cupcake wrapper in that photo and it was one of my favorite things to wear!  And it just so happens that I recently got a pack of patterned paper that has a couple of plaid patterns in it so I just knew that it was a sign that I had to play along in that challenge!  The plaids may be different but the "sentiment" is the same!

Thanks for stopping by!

    I had an interchangeable plaid purse in the 80's (shhhhh!) and a favorite flannel shirt I wore as a jacket...Love your card! Thanks for sharing with us in the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge this week. Wendy DT

    I love the way the patterns on the hearts enhances the design without clashing with the plaid pattern. The subtle colours are really lovely. My favourite is the way that the busy plaid pattern is complimented by the clean and crisp font you've chosen for the sentiment. Thank you for joining us again at As You See It.
