| Here's My Card! |
This is a LONG OVERDUE card for our very own Andrea Matthews! I bought this PTI stamp set, Boards and Beams, when I
first heard Andrea was moving back to Canada but I haven't made her a card until now! I guess it's better late than never!
Check out my house.
Coloring is NOT my forte so I ended up coloring AND paper piecing the windows and door onto the house. Maybe it has something to do with having to stay inside the lines???? Anyway, I hope you (and especially Andrea!) like my card! A LOT of LOVE went into it!

How sweet! What a beautiful blue house! Such a wonderful idea to send some moving love!
Hi Sue,great card sure she will like it..its always great to receive a card and know someone thinks off you!
(I send a lot off cards just to let them know I think off them and care.)
Well...for someone who doesn't color this looks fabulous! What a perfect card for Andrea!
The pop of yellow is wonderful! And I love the image of the house! So glad you joined us at Freshly Made Sketches!

This is a fabulous card Sue, I love this clapboard image, and the colouring and paper piecing are perfect here! What a happy jolly house! XX
Absolutely and I'm sure Andrea is going to love it! Those colours bring back memories from school, the uniform in fact! I love the Bitty Box papers, a super card to add to your ever growing collection.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Great take on the sketch Sue! Such bright and cheery colors too! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches!
Beautiful card, Sue. ;-) I love the little touches of yellow - they add a little bit of sunshine to the card. That house is fabulous!! And I really like that grey graph paper - it goes so well with the patterned paper behind it. Great card!
Been thinking about you a lot - I hope you are feeling better and recuperating from your illness. Over 2 weeks is a looooong time to be sick, and I hope it is on its way out now!!
Cheers and hugs to you, girl. ;-)
This is a beautiful card, Sue! I love the bright, vibrant colors you used and the way you interpreted the sketch

The home that love built is definately beautiful. I think the paper pieced windows add a lot of depth. Such a lovely, thoughtful card with beautifully layered DP.
Cute, cute card, Sue! Love the dp's, and stamped image, and leaving the roof and porch uncolored was genius! It's easy to forget that what is left off a card can be just as striking as what is put on it. ~Hugs, Cheryl
Aww, Sue what a Sweet Card! I just know Andrea will love this! Love that PTI set, and love your layout too! Great dp combo too! Just a Sweet Darling Card Lady! 8-)
