Awesome - love the birthday list! Great idea ~ love the card for 365 too!

Michele, send me your address so I can get your prize out to you!

Now, on to the 365 Cards Monday Challenge! Your challenge today is to use this Ad as your inspiration.

The great part about these ad challenges is that Pam lets the DT pick their own ads. So I found this wreath at the 1800Flowers website and just loved it! You can take your inspiration any way you want: from the shape of the wreath, from the colors, from the style, from the ribbons, etc. Sky's the limit. This is why I love photo challenges! (HA! I win this time, Pam!)

Here is the card I made. I have to admit, it did not turn out like the vision in my head. But that's because I thought my wreath stamp was bigger and a bit different than it turned out to be.

The wreath stamp is actually a Basic Grey Christmas stamp from a set I purchased a few years ago. But stamped with the fall colors, it works pretty well. The paper here is all old stuff I found in a bag marked "fall." (shrug) I used my new large scallop punch again. (EK Success)

You can see the wreath better in this close-up. I also used another of the pins Rose made for me, plus a few of my own I had in my stash! Thanks again, Rose! The pins are so pretty!

The gratitude stamp is Inkadinkado. I just got this stamp recently.

There you go. That's all for today. You may not see much of me this week. I am trying to get over a cold, plus I need to do grade reports for school, and figure out some things around here. I'll be back for sure on Friday with my CropStop project, but if you don't see me before then, don't worry. (wink) I guess that means if you DO see me before Friday...worry??!!!
