Happy Day!!

What a beautiful weekend it was!  I tired myself out, not crafting :-(, but rather picking up sticks and raking the yard.  It looks soooo much better than it did!!

And, because I spent so much time putzing around the house and yard, you must excuse my picture of today's card.  It wasn't taken in the greatest light, and for that I apologize!!

This card is for the weekly challenge over at Deedee's Happy Monday Challenges.  It is a Pattern Challenge and asks to mix polka dots, stripes and checks ~ any or all of the three!!

I colored this image, Bloom Where You Are Planted, with my Bics and mounted both the image and sentiment on a piece of light blue cardstock on which I scored a check pattern.  I incorporated stripes and dots in my DP's!

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out how the rest of the DT combined their patterns!!
Huggz,
April

I think you did a stand up job, including the light :) You have such a knack for using big flowers and making them work! Love this, my friend - now rest up from your yard work! x0x0

April, that image is fabulous and I LOVE LOVE LOVE how you've used patterned paper as the main backing of the card. That's such a great idea; it just makes everything pop! And that flower is a perfect embie to match!
