Woooooooo - today is one of the best races of the year: Atlanta Motor Speedway aka Hotlanta. LOVE IT - and it's one of Casey's favorite tracks. Doesn't mean he'll do well there - LOL - just means he really likes racing there. I should be getting in the door from church right as the green flag drops; LOVE IT!
So I've got a few things to show you today - starting out with a RAK. A RAK is a random act of kindness. This chick Tara over at the Papertrey forum got some of these little tags and wanted to see some different ways to use them. Well I'm all for a challenge - and free stuff, right? So she mailed me some. I'll tell you what - I have learned so much about the kindness of strangers over the last few months - it amazes me...in a good way.
This last card I made for Julee's special release party sketch challenge. Tonight is the big Verve release party at SCS - so if you're looking for me between 6-8pm my time, that's where I'll be ;) Speaking of the kindness of strangers - this card's base is from my new Paper Temptress paper I got in the mail yesterday. Now I knew that being on a DT for a company would get you free stuff - but Patricia totally hooked me up. I got the biggest, fattest package yesterday with some stuff I wanted, plus a bunch of stuff she wanted me to have. I got paper to make the kids' birthday party invitations that are going to make them soooo excited - more about that in a couple of months though. Anyway - back to this card. Check out the Kiwi Vellum - the brightness scared me at first, but I knew I had to play with it right now right now, and pairing it with this beautiful Azalea Metallic cardstock seemed like a winning plan; you like?

So thank you, Miss Tara - and here's what I did with them.....:

That paper w/the inlaid hearts is very cool. Too bright? Nah, that card screams SPRING.
Enjoy the race!
Hey Michelle! Sorry I didn't post a comment to you at the Verve release. Man, I get so lost on those things, and I don't know how to hightlight the comments to reply to them, etc. You know me and my computer skills lol! Anyway, your cards are so pretty! I love the bright bold colors. Loved the race today! I was on my feet jumping up and down at the end, but Jeff just couldn't quite do it. I know you are extremely disappointed ; ) Enjoy The Amazing Race. That's one of my favorite shows too : ) TTYL.
