This card is for this weeks Inspiration Challenge.....I was inspired by this packaging:
Thanks Stef for the inspiration - you always bring something inspiring 'to the table!'
I have also made this card for a friend I have met on SCS....Tracey is an Australian girl who started a thread to see how many Australian girls are on SCS...she sent out the cry that all Australians know...."Aussie Aussie Aussie" and waited for the responses....and they have resounded through SCS....you may have wondered what it was, but those of us here....we knew to reply 'Oi Oi Oi'. Each night all or some of us get on line and chat....it has been so much fun talking with everyone...some are close by and others on the other side of the country.....if you are Australian and haven't checked it out...then you can find it here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
....we love to chat.
I have made this card for Tracey as sadly her Father died last week and I wanted her to know that I am thinking of her at this time. These 'virtual friendships' are amazing...you can feel close to someone without actually meeting them....Tracey...this is for you girl - what a legend you are to us all, you have brought total strangers together online who share a love of their country and craft....and most of us L-O-V-E coffee - it keeps us going to 'chat' into the night - I think one night Tracey finally got off line at 3am!!!
Tracey, our thoughts are with you, along with you, this week especially....this card is on it's way to you now....hopefully the ink will be dry before it arrives in your mail box!!
The card is pretty straight forward - doesn't really need explaining. It is Sunday night here - I hope you are enjoying your weekend - it is Sunday evening here and we are winding down...getting ready for another school week......my DD2 has lost 5 teeth this week and has another 2 that are on their way out - Tooth Fairy or 'Tooth Parent' as we call it here is going to have to mortgage the house if this keeps up!! LOL!!!
