Hello everyone, and welcome to Wednesday and another Color Throwdown! We're up to challenge #109 already... I can't believe it's been 9 weeks already since we celebrated #100! Time just flies by these days! I hope you'll decide to play along this week with this bright color combo I chose! Consider it one last tribute to Summer before we start getting chillier weather, and pull out the warm Fall colors!
My card was created for a sweet little girl, named Abby (in case you didn't figure that out!) Abby and her family go to my church... she is 2 years old. Last week, her Mommy posted something on Facebook about how Abby was watching for the mailman to come and was very disappointed when he came, and drove right by their house, apparently having no mail for their household that day. Someone commented and said "were you expecting something?" and Abby's Mom said "No, Abby just likes to get the mail!" So I thought I'd surprise Abby with some mail all her own! (And when I get some time, I'll have to create another card so big sister Emily doesn't feel left out!) It was a great opportunity to use the sweet Banner Day Die-Namics from My Favorite Things to spell out Abby's name on the card, along with this cute Pure Innocence image, too!

You might be the MOST thoughtful person on the planet!! This is a wonderful card. So cheery and fun and Abby is a lucky girl to receive it! So nice of you to think of her. Cute story! I can't wait to hear about the mailman arriving at abby's house! :)
This is soooo cute! Tammy, you are so sweet! You are going to make Abby's day. I remember how much I loved mail when I was little... still DO! LOL!
Awwwwwwwwwww, what a super sweet thing to do! She'll be so excited to get mail! And, could this card be any cuter??? I think NOT!! Totally adorble!
Tammy, this is adorable!! What a sweet thing to do for Abby! :)
How sweet of you to think of Abby with this card. She is going to be THRILLED when she gets it!
This is so, so precious, Tammy, and I LOVE that you're sending it to little Abby! What a great friend you are!! You will definitely have made Abby's day!
Your card is so adorable, but bigger yet is your thoughtfulness at making a little girl's day! How sweet!
So cute... I just love the personalized banner...Abby is going to be delighted and over joyed..How thoughtful of you!!
Aren't you just the sweetest ever...Abby is gonna be blown away by this cutie!!! I know I would love to get happy mail too :)!!! Hugs ~S~
I love the colors you chose this week - perfect for a little girl. She'll love it!
And now you're making me regret that I didn't buy those banner dies. I can't believe I didn't after the adorable make & take at CHA. Do you have them at the store?
First, the card is adorable! But what impressed me the most is why you made it. Such a sweet thing to take your time just to bring a smile to a little girls face because of mail. I can relate to the story because I have not one, but two little guys who are the same way with the mail. One, whose birthday was last week, had been checking the mail for the past month hoping for his own mail!
This is adorable! Love the banner! I bet Abby loved it!
This is SO sweet, I'm sure she loved it!
Congratulations, your card is being featured on the MFT Blog today as part of Our Favorite Finds!
Absolutely ADORABLE Tammy! Abby is going to love getting "happy mail"! I know I do!!
