This was a fun Challenge... not only did I think about the red Olympic gloves but I started thinking about the old familiar Ukrainian folktale that Jan Brett retold in her book "The Mitten" (http://www.teachingheart.net/mitten.html). Where a group of Animal friends came together and tried to live in a mitten that they found on the snowy ground. Much like we do when we all come together at the Olympics...
Here is my take on this challenge:

Great card, love how you used the yarn to tie real mittens. Very cute story, and perfect for this VSN. Nice job!

Love your card & Jan Brett-what can I say?! Started buying her books when DD was in grade school.
Love your card, excellent capture on paper of Olympic Spirit and Adelle's sentiments for the challenge!
