City Girl

Hello Everyone,

You know the old saying 'when it rains it pours'? Well, that would describe me today posting three times. I guess I am making up for lost time. All that aside I would like to let you know that PINspirational is having a new challenge starting today! Here is my card for today, enjoy!

Our girl is happy even when it rains!
The background is my favorite with its looming clouds almost certain forecasting more showers.

I love the colors in this card and her coordinating outfit is just too cute.
Left/Below: The sentiment seemed like a good fit for the tone of the card. I highlighted the scripted letters for a bit more interest. Right/Bottom: Her jacket and boots were done using paper piecing. I think she turned out great and I really enjoy the cool color palette. .

City Crafter Challenges: Week 373- Something beginning with 'S'

I used- showers and skyscrapers

I have owned the same key ring for 25 years. I love it because it has my first initial in brass; held together with leather and eyelets. Sure it is dinged or should I say well loved. When I got married the key ring represented not only my first initial but my last as well. AND.. when we moved to Michigan everyone thought I was a Spartan fan for Michigan State. I am ambivalent coming from Buffalo, New York. It could mean many things but for me, it represents freedom, independence, and responsibility. Oh, growing up was so much fun.  

Well, that should do it for me. I hope you have a great day and thank you so much for stopping by my little byte of the internet. I do hope you will join us at PINspirational. It should be fun! Until then take care and happy crafting.

All the best,
Shawna
