This is one grand card! I love the Brick wall. Just got that folder friday! Best wishes with your move. I know it is bittersweet but you will make new forever memories in your new home.

I love having the flowers against the "brick wall"! Also like the added white gel pen dots - for some reason that adds so much interest to cards. Good luck with all the moving prep!!

Love your brick wall (hey, there are horizontal stripes between the rows of bricks!), and the beautiful flowers. Pretty bow, love the sentiment! Such a pretty card! Best of luck with the move.

While a self-described umpteenth attempt (I bet some of the rejects were pretty gorgeous too!), your card is soo beatiful with amazing coloring of the flowers and the cool new brick ef in the background!! Take care, and I hope the move goes well!

Karen, your card turned out beautifully... hopefully all the craziness will end soon, once you get into your new place. Keep your chin up and maybe a glass of wine or two will help cheer you up..
Hugs..pat

Even w/o dessert, your card is FABULOUS! So beautiful. Like the brick bkgrd and interesting dotty border. Good luck packing. I've done it a dz times since '76 so I know first hand, it's a BIG, tiring, seems-like-it-will-never-end job! Once you are in you're in your new home you'll be so glad to be there, you'll forget about all the pre-move chaos. Promise. xx
