A Perfect Autumn Day and a CC challenge

Today is one of those perfect Autumn days that reminds me of why this is my favorite time of year. The sky is the most glorious shade of blue, the sun is shining and the trees are all decked out in their colourful Fall finery. The temperature is warm yet fresh and altogether perfect !!
I came home from physio today with NO back pain. I can't  remember  a time when I didn't have any pain, and after yesterday when the pain was making me hysterical, having no pain at all today is like a miracle. This really is a perfect day.
Anyway... Crop Chocolate has a weekly challenge, and I haven't missed one yet. I even manage to scrape together something for the challenges I don't like ( home decor/altered items, yeech! ). I can't seem to be able to not enter. Sometimes (often) I just barely get my entry in on time and today was no exception. The requirement was to use a neutral and three bright colours and even though I have been having a dreadful time trying to craft lately, I had to do this one. It is simple and yet it is an extention of the way I feel today. Happy.


I used the cover sheet off the Echo Park " For The Record" collection pack for the stripes. I always get a lot of use from those cover sheets. The rose is out of the same pack. The doily is cut with a Cheery Lane die. I used my Sew Easy to make the holes for the backstitching. Quick, simple and will fit in an envelope. YAY !
To take part in a CropChocolate challenge, 50% of the products you use must have come from them. If you are reading this and are not a member of CropChocolate, you should check it out. They don't sell everything, but it is a great place for paper. They have the BEST customer service anywhere. I promise !!
