Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combo Challenge: Farewell In Colors. We could use any In Colors and Neutrals.
I have a LITTLE help from Speedy the Cat this morning...It seems that Speedy the Cat and his "Novices," the SSS,(Semi Siamese Siblings), all decided to TRASH my Cuttlebug....It was knocked off the shelf and in about 4 BROKEN pieces....So...I guess that was Speedy the Cat's way of telling me that I HAVE to purchase the new Big Kick....Right?
These two Nestie scallop circles were in my "Rejects" bin, already sponged, and dotted...I guess it was meant to be....
I ran the backgrounds through my SIZZIX and decided to use Primas with this lovely sentiment soon to be released from H&M Stamps!
If you didn't know, Mother is terminal, and continues to care for Dad who has Alzheimer's. It's amazing what one woman can do, if she is strong.
She is my hero! I'm mailing this to her this morning...Along with a gift card to Books a Million. She loves reading, and has 6 books on reserve at the local library. I was astonished! RESERVE???? So, Markie and I went over to BAM and bought a heafty gift card so she can get those new releases right away!

Faith, this is the most beautiful card. I think your Mom must be an angel, working so hard to keep everything together. You and your Mom and Dad have been in my prayers since I found out that everyone is struggling with illnesses.
I think your Mom with be thrilled to bits to be able to get those books that she wants. I know how she feels because I feel the same way about books.
Now for some sillyness, what is a Big Kick?
I've never heard of it and what am I missing. LOL
You love animals, my daughter's cat had 5 kittens yesterday.
I asked if she was keeping one and she said that she really can't this time, she has 2 dogs and 3 cats. Does that sound familiar in any way......LOL
I'll try to be there for the chat tonight. See you then.....
