Stampin' Chez Moi

What a great color challenge from HandStamped Sentiments #375 ~ and now here's the crazy thing, I had a card that I had created using a OneSheetWonder DSP that I had created and brought it all to the LakeHouse to create more...but when we came home after the weekend ~ I forgot to repack that ~ NOOOOOOO ~ my cards for this challenge are not with me!!!  So, back to the studio I go and what great fun I had ~ so now I have ANOTHER card that I created for this same challenge ~ maybe I'll add it after the fact ... but in the mean time .....

After I wrote my above sentiment, I came across a wonderful challenge at TicTacToe #118 , and so I thought I'd enter my cards into this challenge ~ I chose the diagonal beginning with Friendship ~ how fitting is that (BIG SMILE) What a fun time during my Facebo...
