Thanks!

Tess contacted me tonight asking if I wanted to craft a challenge! Um…YES!! First of all, it’s been a long time since Tess and I have crafted together (okay, virtually) and I had an interesting day at work!

I was awoken from my rather joyful slumber tonight at 4am by my co-worker. Together, we are responsible for our office Facilities and there was an alarm call…and for once, it wasn’t a false alarm! There was a fairly small fire onsite last night, but what really caused the issue is the sprinkler system that went off. Anyway, at 4am I was not sleeping, in the office and with extremely wet feet. Luckily, the disruption is manageable. We’re still doing some assessment and should have a clearer picture tomorrow when I get to work (hopefully at a more reasonable hour!).

So not only did I want to craft with Tess, but I wanted to make a thank you card for my co-worker for her great efforts last night.

Tess let me pick the challenge, so I picked the Retro Rubber Challenge (#82), which had a tic-tac-toe board this week. My selected row was THANKS – DIE CUT – YELLOW. And, here it is!

Mmmm, love this!

The image is one of my favs from Two Paper Divas, which closed about  a year ago. My TPD stamps haven’t had much  love since then, so it was a pleasure to pull it back out! I think I received this one in 2016.

The sketch on this one is from Paper Craft Crew (#284). I’m in their sneak peek Facebook group, so I got a jump start on their BEAUTIFUL layout this week!

Thanks for crafting, Tess….let’s do it again soon.

  1. Wow, what fresh and bright colors – perfect for Spring and this happy boot, lol. Perfect background papers, too – just beautiful! Thanks so much for playing at Retro Rubber!

  2. I think the gumboots are a good choice after your fire-fighting office experience! The bright yellow paired with the purples is a cheerful combination. The die cut word with its shadowing really stands out. Thanks for joining us at Retro Rubber this week.

  3. I’m not sure if the fire is responsible for you playing with us at Retro Rubber or not but I sure am glad you did!! 🙂 This card is so pretty! Very colorful and just happy to look at. Thank you for playing with Retro Rubber and hope you will join us again soon!!

  4. I love your card. I do hope everything ended up ok! Fire inspired cards are a new one 😉 I love the bright yellow flashes throughout your card. Thanks for playing at Retro Rubber this time. Claire DT

  5. What a great idea to “virtually craft” with a friend! Lovely job on this card, and perfect considering that you had wet feet . . . 🙂 Thanks for joining us at Retro Rubber and come craft with us again soon!
