I have had this card in my favorites for some time, hoping someday I would try it, and to day is the day! My friend Lorraine is hosting 'Girls Nite Out' this evening in her newly remodeled kitchen, and I thought this card would be perfect to help her celebrate! Her colors are green and yellow, with stainless appliances, black stove top and sink. I have not seen it yet, so I hope I am close on the green! Lorraine is truly a chef too. Her homemade cheesecakes are to die for! And so is everything else she cooks up!
The gorgeous yellow blooms are from my sweet friend Nancy (nwilliams6) who encourages me, even when I take 3 months to do one of her challenges! That is a friend! Thank you Nancy, I used every flower in that pack! The 'dollhouse' accessories are from Hobby Lobby, and the paper clips came from Target.

Gasp... Oh Pat this is adorable. I am in awe.... How stinkin fun is this, you did a fabulous job. I am looking at each little thing and how cool. The paper clips are the burners.... Never would of thought of that. The little brads are too cute. Okay I had to laugh at the rug... Seriously my Aunt still has a rug this shape from like 1940. lol I bet this was a hit with Lorraine... How cool... You are such a great friend.

Oh Pat this is fantastic, I remember sitting for ages and looking at the card that inspired you, wondering if I could possibly make this one, I got really caught up on the temperature switches thinking I could never do those and you have used gem brads, I love the way you don't get Fazed by anything, "I shall just use something else" my poor little brain doesn't think like that! those paper clips are such a brilliant idea for the heat rings. This is just brilliant TFS.

Okay, I'm back. You NEED to enter this into a magazine or SOMETHING! This is really that good and you need to share it with the world. And, get some return for the labor!
