I really should have called this 'joanne's struggle'.....I do like the end result, but the process was pure torture.......I was determined to use this background paper as my godchild's family gave me this paper as part of my b'day present of all sorts of supplies. Now that it is his youngest boy's birthday I wanted to use some of that 'stuff' to show how much I appreciate the gift....well.....this is version 7 maybe.......I'm sure we all struggle with certain types of cards....well...kids/baby card are my struggle zone....
so ...when looking, be kind.........tfl

Be kind? Holy Cow! This is great!!! If you had not confessed your weakness- no one would know. This card and all the bright colors is fabulous! I love the mice also. They are such a struggle for me to color. You did a great job. Thanks for sharing your wonderful work!

I think it is just adorable, Joanne. The designer paper is just perfect and I like that you pulled red out of it for your main color. The image is too cute...and perfect for the kickstand.

I can't be anything but kind...because it is so cute and pretty! I've had those days when I struggle six hours to make a card I like...and other days I put one together that I'm happy with in 20 minutes. I find I struggle more with cards I'm making for someone who I want to know how much I appreciate and care about them...this card is one I'd be proud to give! Great job..tfs!
