Hello friends! Thank you all so much for the sweet comments and well wishes you left for me in my last post. I appreciate each of you very much!! : ) This card is for YOU!
I have enjoyed being back in my craft room this week. My mind has been busy dreaming up new cards that I hope to make in the next few weeks. With moving away from so many VIP I will be needing lots and lots of cards like this : ) I figure I best get cracking while my crafty space is still all in one piece! heehee
Today's card will be entered in the darling of blogland's NBUS #3 challenge. It is unlikely you have never met Darnell but if you have not spent time at the playhouse you are in for a real treat! : ) She is hosting her 3rd NBUS (uber generously prize packed) challenge and this week she has partnered with the talented ladies at CASology challenge blog! for twice as much fun : ) My card uses two NBUS both of which are new schtuff! the Hugs die from PTI as well ans the cheerful floral image from Serendipity Stamps are making their debut on this very card : )
And finally I want to credit the fantabulous team at Freshly Made Sketches for the inspiration of my card design.
Please consider joining the fun in all three of these great challenges!! Get ready for some EYE CANDY! as you scroll through the many many participant's entries : )
Now without further ado : ) Here are some HUGS just for YOU!!
Have a great week friends.
Patti

Thank you so much for those blush-inducing words of yours and for playing again in my NBUS Challenge #3!! Big sunny hugs right back atcha!! Darnell
So wonderful to meet you Patti! I browsed through your blog and LOVE your work! I've got that "hugs" set on my wish list, but your card makes me want to put it in the cart! I see from your previous card that you are moving away from WI. Whah, there aren't too many Wisconsinites that I know of on the blogs. Thanks for your sweet comment, and for following my blog.
Patti I love the sunny yellow on your card and what a pretty design!!
Love this card! Colors are spot on! Also I was so happy about your move I forgot to comment on how cute that card was!
Oh, this is just so lovely. The sponged yellow just gives the card such a warm feeling. And, I love how you used that Serendipity stamp--I have it and never thought of stamping it in color and leaving it. Brilliant backdrop to your Hugs sentiment. Thank you so much for playing along at CASology this week. And, congratulations on your upcoming move. Happy for you (but isn't it cold there?)
Absolutely love that die and your contrast of the soft yellow and bold black is a true eyecatcher.
Wow--this is absolutely gorgeous! Love this card!
Beautiful card, Patti. Love the ink blending & layout. Just awesome. Love your style of card making. Thanks for following my blog. Hugs.
Hi Patti, you really are the Queen of CAS, this is stunning..I love the sponged yellow, the whole card will give the recipient a very 'warm' feeling,just like they are being hugged, sending hugs to you, Carole Z X

Patti...this is just beautiful and I love your yellow stamped background, the portion inside the circle, so so pretty and what a wonderful way to use that sweet floral stamp. Love the hugs too, so sweet. Enjoy your weekend!
