This card is for today's SCS Inspiration Challenge~Home Sweet___. The challenge~make a card inspired by your home state, province, town or country.
Well, I live in Florida and call it home. I love the warm weather here! It did get too cold for me this winter but I know that the HOT days of summer are just around the corner!
One of the things you see a lot of here in the summer, is fans. Ceiling fans, personal fans, air conditioning fans...
I just received this Lockhart stamp in the mail today and it was perfect for this challenge!
I also put the sentiment on as a word bubble so I could submit to the Moxie Fab Sketch Challenge.
Enjoy!

LOL...fun idea to use a fan to represent your state, but how perfect! I've visited FL on different occasions and fans are definitely a requirement if you live there!

Your card is a fabulous representation of how I see Florida. Good thing you love hot weather, Peggy. Your fan is just fabulous along w/your paper airplanes.
