Summer Inspiration!

What a beautiful day we are having here!! Welcome to all my DELIGHTFUL FRIENDS & FAMILY.
It's been gorgeous all day long, not too hot but warm enough to have to watch out for a sunburn! Finally, summer has arrived! Whoo-hoo!
I was busy last night playing in my craft room and making some cards, so this more than likely will be my first post for today but be watching for a second!
This one card qualifies for 3 challenges, so I'll start with brand new one for me : EtsyInspired Challenge (#96) be sure and check out the blog (thank you Savannahland2!!) and here is my inspiration from that challenge:
From Octavia Brown This beautiful vintage tin ceiling tile


Can you see the inspiration?


My second and third challenges are from Card Patterns #72 and last but certainly not least That's Krafty Thursday #34 from my all time favorite blog the Spotted Chick and you'll be inspired anytime you visit the Hen House!!
