Whine, whine, whine!!!

You are going to think "this one is never happy, she is always whining!" Not long ago I was moaning about the cold, rainy weather we were having.....well, now it's too darn hot!!! Our temps have been above 30C for over a week now & the humidity is awful....I don't do well with humidity! One bonus to the heat is I'm seeing all kinds of birds having a bath in my fountain....there is a little bubble of water that comes out the top & the hummingbird loves to sit on it! I'm trying to get a picture but the little fellow is just too shy & flies off everytime I get close enough with the camera!
So, about my card. I made this for a friend from TCC...we have a birthday card exchange over there. The digi is from Anne Fenton at The Outlawz & the "happy birthday" is Penny Black; colored with prismacolor pencils....I attempted to do the distress ink thing (on her jeans) but I need alot more practice with that!!!! DP is from My Mind's Eye & the music note paper is downloaded from the net; CS is Bazzill & I have used Spellbinders (oval & scalloped oval) & a beautiful  Memory Box die that I just bought....cherry blossoms. Have an awesome day!


Challenges I am entering this card in:
1. Celebrate the Occasion.....Happy Birthday
2. Party Time Tuesdays.....Let's get punchy
3. Stamp N Plus.....anything goes
4. Crafty Bloggers Network.....anything goes
5. Lexi's Creations.....for a friend
6. Make It Monday.....anything goes

    Fab card! Love your papers!

    No danger of it being too hot here in the UK....bit too wet for my liking though!

    Thanks for joining us at Celebrate the Occasion this week!

    I don't think you're a whiner--I can't stand humidity, either! HATE IT. But, I LOVE your card! So cute! And I adore the bright and cheerful colors you used! Fabulous! :)

    I don't know anyone who's NOT complaining about the heat so don't worry about it. LOL Your card is super sweet Renee. Way to go with the orange. That's not a color I use much but it looks awesome. Hugs!

    I hear you about the heat. I feel like I'm melting most the time these days, but your very cool colors on your card have brought me much relief. The orange reminds me of the orange ice cream bars at the store..yum! Love that your image protrudes off the main page too. That looks wonderful. :)

    Thank you so much for taking the time to link up your talent and creative ideas with us at Make It Monday!
