There is that saying that necessity is the mother of invention. Well, I don't know about that, but it sure is the basis of most of my cards. My DH, two sons and I went to the neighborhood pool with some pizza for a fathers day dinner, and all I had time to shove into my bag was some copics and a micron pen... no stamps to color. I started doodling and ended up with the center two sunflowers and the square. When I got home and saw the CAS 330 for stripes ( sorry, stars just did not work for this) I got the idea for the bg. The TLC539 to make a latch card was perfect. I made one more sunflower and fussy cut it. Two terrific challenges and one sunny, happy card to brighten someone's day. My sweet Dolly the insomniac dog has been sick and I have more late night crafting time with here the past few days. TFL, Francie

WOW! All hand drawn, a talent so many of us wish we had! How on earth you did this at a pool is beyond me but it's gorgeous! Love the happy colors, Francie! What a clever way to do the latch! The bright stripes set off your sunflowers so beautifully!

It is sure to brighten someone's day Francie.... Fabulous sunflowers and doodling. Looks like you didn't need those stamps yesterday after all... I keep telling myself to stamp a bunch of images and color one here or there.... It just isn't getting through.... SO sorry to hear about Dolly...
