My New Home Card!

A "New Home" deserves an awesome card!!!!
YES, I've been working,...slowly,
but seems like nothing but issues lately! Lol!!
Between the computer, my little guy having a cold... to much to do, too little time! Hahah!
It's all good! I'm getting there....hahaha
Well, enough about my grips...
What have I been working on....Let's see....
Ah, yes! My new home card! A couple friends have purchased homes lately, and I was thinking, how cute it would be to make a step card, that looks like a yard.

So I got busy, I even included a walk way with a home sweet home door mat! That was my sons idea, when he saw how it was coming out.


Really wanted the house to look "homey", so, I even put a little flower box with flowers under the front window, and encased the front door with stones.

 I just love the mail box,
fence and stone walkway!

What did I use to make this card?

Cricut cartridge Mickey & friends (for the mailbox, walkway & the fence)
Cricut cartridge Create a Critter (house & trees)
Spellbinder die (for frame)
Lots of luck stamp set
Frisker scissors (for the grass)
Green, red, brown, blue, aqua and yellow card stock
The flowers I used a star Martha Stewart punch

So Many Ideas!!!
 I always have the ideas floating in my head, but have trouble getting them to relay on paper.
One of my biggest problems is my indecision with color!
Being that I have MS, at this point, it's affecting my decision making process
and is really becoming hasslesome to my craft!! But, this too shall pass! I'm getting through, not without frustration though! Hahaha.
Could be worse!!!

    1. Thank you so much. I tried to enter this card, with my birthday step card, but it wouldn't let me :-( and for some reason, the link brings everyone to this card, not the birthday card... lol. But that's fine by me... lol
