Fun Ways to Use It challenge! I love using odd numbers on cards...they just look better to me. For my odd number, I used 7 cloud like images. The labels 6 always reminds me of a cloud so I used a couple of them for clouds along w/ some cloud punches.
This is also for Beate's Hope You Can Cling To, Rays of Hope. The challenge was to use mostly gray w/ one splash of color.
Maybe I'd better explain my card a bit. This so reminds me of my Grandmother, whom I lost to cancer. While I loved her dearly, she could be "difficult", lol. What made me think of her w/ this greeting was one time she was in town visiting, staying w/ other relatives. When she was still here a couple of days after she was supposed to go home, I asked my uncle what had happened. He said "it's raining". I shrugged. Ok, that matters, why?? "Grandmother can't go home because her broom doesn't work in the rain." I still laugh when I think of that.
So that's my story, and I'm sticking to it, lol. The images are from DRS Designs and I'll have it on my blog in just a bit. Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.

Well just look at you go, Ms. Julie. this is such a hoot with that image that perfectly matches that sentiment. Isnt that the truth. I know a number of people that would say the very same thing about me....mostly about the broom though.

Julie this is such a cute card. And the story about your grandmother is a hoot. But what a wonderful memory and story to pass on. I LOVE that saying! I've seen it around the gallery before and I just have to find out where to get it!!!
