Sympathy Card Using CTMH Magical Paper and Art by Miran Sunflower Sara

Hello friends!  How is your summer going?  It is still very hot in Southern CA.  I would love to be able to go outside and walk or ride my bike; but the heat makes me sick.  I wish there was a place to live that had the perfect climate all year long.  Maybe I need to do some research to find that place.  LOL!  

It is time for another fabulous Art by Miran Facebook Anything Goes Challenge; with an option for "Back To School or School Colors".  I am not sure which school has these colors; but there is one for sure.  LOL!  Isn't this a precious image?  I fell in love with her as soon as I saw it.  She looks so happy and cheerful, and proud of herself for picking that flower.  LOL!

I rarely use red; but this one called to me.  The paper pack is Close To My Heart Magical; which is retiring August 31st.  If you want it; get it right away.  Check the retiring products here and the clearance items here.  

As You Like It Challenge - I like square 6 x 6 sized cards the best; because they seem to give me more room to work with.  They also work better for challenges when you link them. Your entire card shows when linking; rather than a small part of it.  LOL!
