Finally..a One Layer Card!!

           Here is a one layer card!! I hardly ever make them.  I just never think of it!
I'm always thinking more is better, therefore my multiple layers!! 
    This is a Stamps Of Life stamp by Stephanie Barnard, called Joy 2 Christmas
(This set is from Nov. 2009).
 Inside
      Gina K, Stamp TV's Free For All Friday's  challenge this week, is  "One Layer Christmas Card."    The Saturday Inspiration Challenge at SCS is based on images at The Blue Carrot Shop.    My inspiration was this bowl, except I used BLUE.
      Sunday was my Dad's 76th Birthday.  I wanted to post pictures of us sending him balloons to heaven!!

I love that you send balloons up to your Dad Cindy. And I wouldn't expect you to have any other color than purple! lol!

What a wonderful one layer card. Isn't it funny the things we take our inspiration from? lol! This is a good reminder that you don't need many layers to create a fabulous card!
