Taxes are done and I'm so happy. I liked my new guy very much and he was very good. Plus I had taken everything I needed. He is pretty far north of here so I'm glad I had everything. The kitchen sink was very heavy but I took it just in case! (just kidding).

My card today is the second one for my tax lady, Carolyn. I forgot to take a picture of the first one! I am entering this card for http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com/ and also http://casmixup.blogspot.ca/.  The challenge is Mainly Teal at LIM and Stamping, smooshing and your choice at CAS MixUp.  I'm just getting in on time at LIM as getting the tax stuff together was taking a lot of time. I smooshed Inka Gold on cardstock and cut out a rectangle with Lil' Inkers die. The dragonflys are SU covered with Stickles. I used Taken with Teal SU ink to stamp the Wplus9 sentiment and added several Pretty Pink Posh sequins. So I used teal, stamped the sentiment and used die cuts to complete the challenges. Be kind to one another.

Pretty card Brenda...I have that set of dragonflies too. Think I will case your card for Hospice. Don't know why I thought patterned paper was needed...plain colored is fine!!!
