Summer Polka Dot Card

Happy Saturday, Friends! Its been a rainy day here today...with lots of thunder and even a little sunshine mixed in! Perfect day to spend a little time in my craftroom. This "Thank You" card is for a very helpful friend, cousin-in-law actually (she & I both married into the family so perhaps that makes us out-laws instead of in-laws!).

I am entering this one in 3 challenges:

MOJO Monday Sketch Challenge #202

Tonight we had a birthday celebration for 3 of the "kids"...ranging in age from 31 to 52! The card I'm posting is the one I gave my son-in-law, Steve. I recently picked up a set of Stampin Up safari animals stamps that I needed an excuse to use. So I did! And I'm entering it in the MOJO Monday 202 Challenge at

All of the cardstock is from my stash...some has been in my craftroom for years!

The diecuts are: Spellbinders Standard Circles Lg. & Big Scallopped Circles Lg.

The glass "beads" are Twinkle Jewels from Stampingscrapping.com.

The Happy Birthday stamp is from Imaginations. On the inside is a Verve stamp, the Bible verse: Psalm 37:4, and more Stampin Up animals!
