My Mom and Dad are the most wonderful parents. They are caring and loving and giving to a fault and I do not deserve them. Their never-ending kindness humbles me. I haven't given them an "official" thank you card for their most recent run of unrelenting assistance. I used today's SC404 challenge to make a thank you card for them. And ... thanks Taylor, for the great sketch!

I like the different shades of green on your cute card. When I drive along the highway, I always marvel at how many different shades of green there are in the trees.

Hi Gabby! I hope your are feeling better. That is a very interesting stamp....Stampotique? I'll have to check them out! I love the distressing and the fact that you matted the layers with the same paper.

How thoughtful of you to thank your parents for all they've done for you and always being there when the need arises! My sons are finally listening to their dad and me after all these years of them (knowing so much more than us), and it feels really good inside! They are 31, 24 & 23. Love all your distressing and the girl representing you looks like she could use a hug. So accept this BIG hug from me to you! ~Hugs

A wonderful card for your parents, Gabby. They will be touched...and thankful they have such a grateful DD as you! I love the image since she looks a little woebegone to me in a childlike way. I thinks she speaks volumes.

Gabby, you're truly blessed to have such supportive parents and they're blessed to have such an appreciative child! Your card has a real gothic look, and the distressing plays along really well!
