Hello, Friend

  Hello, everyone!  Here is a mid-challenge reminder for our "Fantasy" challenge over on the Creative Moments Challenge blog.  You still have almost 2 weeks to play along with us.  Our fabulous sponsor is Sheepski Designs.  Here is my card:

I love snow (though I HATE the cold weather), but I know a lot of people don't, so I created this nice spring inspired card to help cheer you up if you are one of those people!  I started with the cute little gnome images and went from there.  I picked some garden inspired papers in happy colors and paired them with a fun sketch.  The "hello" is die cut and the "Friend" is stamped directly onto the patterned paper--I just love that look when I remember it is an option!

Remember, you still have almost 2 weeks to play.  So, get inky and link up your creation; I can't wait to see what you create!
