So I have to tell you about Saturday's storms. The tornado that went through Mapleton, Iowa was about 30 miles from here. The pictures look devastating, but luckily no one was seriously injured.
Here's how it went down at our house. I was in my new studio (doesn't that sound fancy) when the sirens went off. On my way to the basement, I go to the four season's room, to see if DH heard them (I knew he did). He said he wasn't going because he had the weather channel on and he'd be just fine in his room with nothing but windows. After 40 years, I don't argue. I went to the basement and turned on the the weather channel. After a while it looked as if it was going to miss us, I went back up to check on him and guess what?? He's now standing with the door open watching the wind and rain. I swear I don't know how any man would survive a tornado.
Now the card. I was visiting Mary J. and she had this fabulous card using a Some Odd Girl digi. She mentioned there was a challenge. Well, any excuse to to shopping, right? So this is what I made with my purchase. I can see me using this digi a lot.
I didn't get the lighting just right on the inside. Mary J always decorates the inside, and I think that so nice.
I am entering my card in the Some Odd Girl's CAS challenge.
So here is what I used for the card. Sunflowers digi is from Some Odd Girl, the sentiment is Verve. I used Copics and some Martha Steward glitter around the faces. The paper is Basic Grey.
Happy Tuesday!

Cute! I see you're on a roll again making cards. I couldn't do them when my computer was down and it drove me crazy.

Love this card Gail!! I'm a huge fan of sunflowers and love your image and colouring on this one!
I'm so glad you didn't get hit during the storm. I've been hoping all is well and am so glad to see you back in one piece!
This is beautiful..I LOVE your choice in digis. My son and I just planted flowers. I hope they look this good. Glad everyone at your house is safe. I am so fearful of storms. The devastation looked terrible..
You do have to wonder about those men... haha Love these cute little sunflowers, I agree the insides done are so nice!
