Encouragement Card Using Sweet Pea Tickled Pink Digi & CTMH Brushed Paper

Hello friends.  I hope everyone is doing well.  It is going to be over 91 degrees today.  Can you believe it?  It is only April.  I really hope that isn't an indication of the heat this summer. Our weather in the US has been very strange for several years.  It is feast or famine when it comes to the rain/snow.

I finally found time to create with my Sweet Pea "Tickled Pink" digi; that was free for entering their Progressive challenge on their Facebook group.  Be sure to check it out.  Join the group first and then find their challenges under Photos.  If you enter the Progressive challenge each month; you will receive the featured digi.  This one was created by Lynne Stansbery - Tickled Pink.  Isn't she precious?

If you have been following my blog; you may have seen that three of my grandkids are coming to see us the end of May.  I have been sending them cards for a count down before they fly out here.  I decided to use this one for the 10 day card.  I am "Tickled Pink" that they are coming and can't wait to take them to Disneyland for their very first time.  It will be so much fun!
