Hello again, I am better today. Uploading last night was not easy, being a morning person...but for a good cause CARDS FOR MARK, made it worth it, I promise. Well, I wanted to make another card for him, because I know he will need some for at least the next 2 years, so I thought maybe one a month, that could be nice or more. When you add it all up with the other ones, he should get one for each day.
So I did use the CC from Betty and tweaked the colours, but that's okay, the challenge police said. "Well there Peggy or Marilynprestonn or THE Queen Nut Extraordinaire, if it's for a good cause, go right ahead." How sweet he is. I did bribe him with doughnuts! LOL
Betty is adding the CARDS FOR MARK cause in her dessert option. I have to be honest, I try to add it for all the challenges, but I forget...guess I could not forget this one huh!
Cindy has 2 teapots for this week's Teapot challenge for us to be inspired by. I used the second one this time time, but used black instead of brown for my colours. Here is the thread for the story:
and if you have the time, here is my little story about Samantha:
Well here is BAM BAM...remember him from the Flinstones. He is the football player who get thrown out the most from a game. 42,000 times last season!!! I figure he can help Samantha get the idea, if he can get his helmet on straight and learn the rules...humph, still think he's the man for the job...

Too stinkin cute Miss Peggy! I too am a morning person. It's always so quiet and peaceful and you're not so tired from a full day of work! OH, back to this card. I love that denim bg and those eyelet things with the hemp. Boy, you sure know how to sweet talk those challenge police. Love your image, too cute. Thanks again for the info about little Mark. I hope he gets 42,000 cards! TFS :0)
