Happy day to you....

Hi Everyone!
Happy day to you :) That's the title of my card I made for the Simply Crafts March Challenge. This month you are to make a project, any kind of project, using the kite cut from the Create a Critter cartridge (it is on the same key as the giraffe cut). If you don't have that cartridge any kite cut will do. I love these challenges they are always so FUN! Such a busy weekend and I'm exhausted. We had a HUGE fundraiser for my youngest sons school to raise money for some of the programs that are being neglected due to budget cuts. We had an Adult Casino Night.  It sure was a lot of fun and although I helped with silent auctions and various things during the evening there was still some time to DANCE!! We had a GREAT time!  

So here is my card.

I'm not sure the maker of this paper but I just loved the bright colors. I guess I was in the mood for color because it's been overcast and rainy here, except today windy BUT Sunny.
