You brighten my day

Good morning!
Boy is town hoppin' this 4th of July weekend... it's crazy I tell ya! And I'll be heading back out into that craziness soon when I go to work. I'm hoping for a quick day so that I can get back home and relax this evening... fingers crossed! ;)

But before I go, I wanted to quickly share the card I made for this week's ATS punches and/or diecuts challenge. If you've already seen my little you tube video about how I create the cloud backgrounds around stamped images then you will recognize most of this already, LOL! Ah heck, I've got fast speed now, just let me put it in this post ;) I thought it would be fun to pair Darby up with Briar's cricket friend, Sonata. Because you just know that Darby would be friends with everyone in Sweet November Land. And to fulfill the challenge I punched out a bunch of little butterflies to flit around these two new pals. :)

There is still plenty of time to play along this week... if the 4th of July festivities aren't keeping ya too busy. Just don't forget to use a stamp sold in the ATS store if you would like a shot at the prize!

Ok, I gots ta get gone... peace out home fries! :)
