The sun is out again today! It is so nice to see the sun after a week of rainy cloudy days. I was checking out my bulbs that were coming up and noticed something ate my bulb shoots around my lamppost. It is probably deer. I have been looking for ways to deter them. Anybody have any ways that have been successful for them? Okay, on to today’s card. I read a “Be Inspired” challenge…

I will be at my crosstitch group this evening so I will have leftovers. Today’s card combines 2 challenges. The first one is Our Creative Corner and this one has the requirements of a maximum of 3 layers (including your stamped image) and 1 type of embellishment (buttons or brads or…
