WOW ... I think that's the most challenges I've ever put together on one card! You ladies who do this all the time must be "rubbing off " on me!! LOL!! Plus the fact that I'm suffering from bicep tendinitis/arthritis in both arms/shoulders right now and crafting/typing is a bit painful ... guess my brain said, "put them all together and get back to resting those shoulders"! So that's what I've done!
Hope you find inspiration from this creation and thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a great weekend everyone!!!
Well...if you have the winter blues, the Play Date Cafe Challenge was right up your alley!

This is such a stunning card, Darlene! I love all of the fabulous layers and embellies! Spring is indeed right around the corner. February is the shortest month, and next thing you know it - we'll be watching March go out like a lamb. Hope you're feeling better soon - take time to rest!
