This is for Angie's Inspiration Challenge - Spoonflower. So much there! I already have a list of inspiration and it is growing!
I needed two cards for new neighbors. When I saw this pattern called Old City Style Houses, I remembered a fun little two-step stamp set of houses that I had tucked away. Also, I was inspired by the colors and used some of them as well.
We live on a cul-de-sac with eight houses. Recently, four long-term neighbors sold their houses and moved away. We welcomed two new families at Christmastime. Now, we welcome two more. This pattern gave me the mojo and motivation. I made some quick & simple, but friendly "welcome to the neighborhood" cards to give with a some homemade cookies.

Your new neighbors are sure to love these cards with happy colors....and, I'm thinking they will love the cookies, too. You sound like a great neighbor.

You are so thoughtful Diane! These cards are just gorgeous and feel so warm and welcoming too! How hard to lose long-time neighbors, and yet now you can welcome new friends in. I love the designs you used, the bright cheery colors and the stitched panels too. ~Karen.

Your card is so inspired by those houses. Love that you kept this uncluttered!!

Beautiful! I have that stamp set somewhere. You have inspired me to take it out and play. Thanks so much for sharing. Love your colors and the trees between the houses. Nicely done.
