Totally Hues Challenge #3...


Hey girls,

How was your Monday? I woke up to an unexpected surprise of 8" of snow! Yippee! Just kidding. I drove to work this morning and got stuck in the parking lot. Let me rephrase that, I got stuck getting into the parking lot. I was blocking the entrance to the parking garage and had to dig myself out with my little ice scrapper. I used it as a shovel. LOL! Embarrassing. So needless to say, thank goodness my Monday is OVER!

I wanted to share a card I made for the latest Totally Hues Challenge #3. I just love these new color challenges that Heather has come up with. They are so fun and the color combos are so pretty. If you have time, pop over and join in!

Thanks for stopping by,
Brandi
