This coming Monday, I'm moving to the other side of Wisconsin...can't wait for this packing to be over, of course the unpacking will be more fun but I'm worn out. I have developed a trigger finger from over use of my hands..oh joy. Enough griping.
Because my stuff is packed, I had to go very simple with this card. A background from my stash, whatever card base I could find, stamps are mostly packed away but I was able to unearth this unknown sun, computer quote.
This is what inspired me today: https://www.naturesjewelry.com/itemdy00.aspx?T1=JH2148
This is also for this week's ABC19-G is for gold. The ep is sparkle-y gold. And I will eventually be mailing this as I'm in a swap group, we've been doing an alphabet challenge there and this is my Y is for yellow card. I just read that some think Van Gogh might have eaten yellow paint to raise his spirits...I think that, if he really ate it, it was to poison himself. He did use a lot of yellow in his paintings. Thanks for the challenges! See ya on the other side of the state (closer to Polly)!

A wonderful card Jean - I feel your pain re: moving. I did my last one some 15 years ago. Every time I think I would like a bigger place I think about the packing and that takes care of that idea - lol.

Jean even with limited supplies you still make an outstanding card. I love your bright BG. I like yellow and orange on cards. Love the gold embossed sun and quote. Wishing you all the best with your move and unpacking and may you have lots of happy times and adventures in your new home. How cool to be close to Polly. Have fun. Hugs

Beautiful background for your sparkly sun. Well done making cards with limited supplies. I'm sure you are looking forward to being moved and settled in already.
