Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combo Challenge: Farewell In Colors. We could use any In Colors and Neutrals.
I have a LITTLE help from Speedy the Cat this morning...It seems that Speedy the Cat and his "Novices," the SSS,(Semi Siamese Siblings), all decided to TRASH my Cuttlebug....It was knocked off the shelf and in about 4 BROKEN pieces....So...I guess that was Speedy the Cat's way of telling me that I HAVE to purchase the new Big Kick....Right?
These two Nestie scallop circles were in my "Rejects" bin, already sponged, and dotted...I guess it was meant to be....
I ran the backgrounds through my SIZZIX and decided to use Primas with this lovely sentiment soon to be released from H&M Stamps!
If you didn't know, Mother is terminal, and continues to care for Dad who has Alzheimer's. It's amazing what one woman can do, if she is strong.
She is my hero! I'm mailing this to her this morning...Along with a gift card to Books a Million. She loves reading, and has 6 books on reserve at the local library. I was astonished! RESERVE???? So, Markie and I went over to BAM and bought a heafty gift card so she can get those new releases right away!

I love your cards, Faith, but best of all are the stories you tell. I love Speedy and really enjoy hearing his exploits. Faith, my heart goes out to you and your family and it's so inspirational to hear of how your Mom just keeps on going in spite of adversity. You are an inspiration in so many ways.
