Happy LEAP YEAR Everyone!

If you follow my blog you'll see I've been having a lot of fun creating 'JUST FOR FUN' and today I have yet another card that I made because I saw two challenges that I thought would go well together.

They are ...

Allsorts Challenge - Sentiment in Focus
and

MFP Stamp Color Challenge #9 - BROWN

Now, I must admit, when I'm thinking of making a card, the color brown
does NOT pop into my head ... that's probably why that particular challenge caught my attention.

Also, I have some fabulous sentiment stamps that I need to use and just make
simple cards like this!  It may be simple ... but says A LOT!!

I saw this scrap of wood fencing design paper in my scrap stack and thought
it would be a good fit!   Even though I could have just stopped right there,
I thought a horse to go with the fencing background would be a nice touch.

I think my horse loving, positive thinking, country girl daughter would like this card ... just might have to pop it in the mail to her.  Unsigned of course so she can repurpose it to someone who might need 'a lift'.

Other challenge to share in:

Amusing Challenge - Anything Goes (use scraps)
Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes
Stamping Sensations February Challenge - Anything Goes with a Die
Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
Moving Along with the Times Challenge - Words Only

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!!
As always . . .
