My Friend

Well, there is nothing like a little excitement to keep the heart pumping!  Sometime around 5 p.m., I was reclining in the chair watching The Rifleman (yes, I still like the Rifleman!) when all of a sudden the fire alarms in the building started piercing my eardrums!  Hallway doors automatically shut and tenants came out the of their apartments asking what's going on.  I did not have an answer but I know when there's a fire alarm, you're supposed to leave the building and wait for the all clear from the firemen who have come to our rescue.  Fortunately, it was not a fire but something to do with the sprinkler system.

Now that the excitement has died time, it's time to share my card for the My Favorite Things weekly sketch challenge.  There is one oops! on my card.  Can you find it?

Bright Birthday Balloon

Well, I don't know about you, but I was ready for some bright, cheerful colors today.  The one thing I can say about the Color Crush Paper Pad is that it is eye-catching!  Evey sheet is a study in color and movement.  It was the perfect background for all the different colors I wanted to use in this card.  Don't you think this colorful balloon would brighten up someone's birthday?
