tomato red and sun-dried linens...

This morning I started thinking about all of the things I am excited for when we move into our new home.  One thing in particular is most definitely my clothes line....I have wanted one for so long and love the thoughts of hanging things outside to dry while the warm summer air kisses it dry....a little thought that makes me very happy.  I can't wait to step outside my door and head into the hills and mountains for walks....the peace and quiet that will surround us...and the noisy crickets at night....sigh....it will all be worth the wait. 

  This card was created for the CPS blog this week and my friend Kelly from Keep in Touch Card Shop was our sponsor....I adore her site and darling kits.....they are packed with the sweetest, most unique little trinkets.  I'm officially in love with the tomato red trim, polka dot lace, and the little flag....ohhh and the cherries too :)

Thanks so much Kelly for your thoughtful sponsorship this week.

My little one and I are headed off to work...I'm so lucky I get to take her with me.

Have a happy day today.

YOU have that magic touch with the little goodies! Happy friday and enjoy your day with your girl. I took my girls to work with me for 7 years. It was a great to be able to work AND raise my girls in their first few years :)

You have painted a beautiful picture! I can't wait for spring time and the ability to get outside and smell the clean air! Maybe I will have a card making class outside, a wonderful thought!

Oh I love the polka dots and cherries too!!! LOVE POLKA DOTS ANYWAY :-). I do so love to come here and listen to the melodic way you describe your life. It must be so exciting to be building your own home and the fact that your DH is working on it must make you burst with pride and love for him. I expect to see pics, young lady!!!

Enjoy your day at work with your little bean and enjoy your weekend!

I have seen all of your cards over the years but this one Mellisa..... Is MY ABSOLUTELY FAVORITE CARD YOU HAVE EVER MADE. I have seen the hundreds of cards that you have made but I love this one! The shabby feel with the cherries and the flag. I can't get over how much I completely adore it. Ok have I gone on long enough about how much I love the card... HA HA! Have a great day and I can't wait to see your next creation They are all lovely! Your blog brings so much inspiration to me. Thanks so much!

I adore this card---along with all the others you've created! I was so honored to sponsor the CPS Blog design team! I had such fun gathering up all the bits and pieces for the mini kits for each gal. I just KNEW you'd make yours into something fabulous and you did!! If I could have you make something every single day for my lil' site, you know I surely would!
Thank you ever so much!
