==============================

other places to share/link are:

A. Simply Create Too challenge blog; open until Jan 31; theme is warm and cozy; MY card is about being able to enjoy outdoor furniture, so it has to be warm enough to be outside and the cozy part comes from the cushions, canopy protection from the sun, and a radio to curl up on that glider, or stretch out and take a nap....

B. Cut It Up; current/started Jan 26; theme using at least 1 die-cut is 'this makes me happy'; MY card is about relaxing outdoors when it's warm; this makes me happy; my husband and I have a very small home under 1,000 square feet but are fortunate to have 2 different size decks/porch at each exterior door with enough space to have an outdoor table and 4 chairs to enjoy nice Midwest USA weather; on this afternoons and evenings these 2 locations are where we prefer to eat our meals; and I wish we had a glider!

      I appreciate the blog visit, Heather! Don't forget that you can do the theme for any time of the year---snow piled on your outdoor table or autumn leaves that landed on your porch swing, etc. I'm looking forward to see what your interpretation will be!

    Wow, that's a wonderful perspective on the year. I long for summer and the place on a porch swing. Your card really makes me want even more. I can almost hear a summer song :). Great making. I love the different design papers you used for the background.
    Thanks a lot for taking part in the Everybody Art Challenge.
    Hugs Uschi
