This is my card for this week's My Favorite Things card sketch #186. I missed the last two weeks and was happy I got it done this week. All products are from MFT except the two SU Certainly Celery leaves and the DSP from Echo Park's Summer Bliss 6x6 pad. I used MFT Sweet Tooth and Natural CS, Upsy Daisy, Fishtail Flags Stax, Pierced Circle and Circle Stax 2 die-namics. The sentiment is from LJD Gift Card Greetings II. The daisy and sentiment panel are mounted with foam tape. I really like the way it turned out.
There is a special reason that it is a Thank You card as it is going in the mail to Kim van der Sanden (owner of MFT) and Jody Morrow (Design Team). My friend and I went to a class at MFT on Saturday and I was surprised to meet Kim and Jody. They said they came in just to meet me as they aren't usually there on Saturdays. I also met Kim's husband and youngest daughter and Jody's daughter. Kim said they heard I had a rough year due to my recent family tragedy and wanted to do something nice for me. They had this beautiful bouquet of pink roses and carnations and also a gift certificate to the store. I was so surprised and happy that my eyes were a little weepy. Needless to say I did some happy shopping. It was a wonderful day.
