Less is More Challenge #343



Hello, today's card is for the challenge going on over at the  Less is More blog.

The challenge is to think outside the box and use a real object!  As soon as I saw this challenge I immediately thought of a card I had made for my hubby yesterday.  I picked up a cute stamp set from Close to my Heart called Animal Greetings, Operation smile.  There are some cute animals and sayings in there and I thought this one was perfect.  We had a little visitor in the house yesterday, a magpie decided to walk in the open door and couldn't get out.  He flew all over the family room and obviously he was scared (not as scared as me though) because there was bird poop all over the place by the time my hubby eventually got him out!  And the card I had just given to him had splatters of that all over it!!  That's something real isn't it!!  Of course I made a new one this morning and added some heart shaped confetti pieces as balloons and that is my something real!  Thanks for looking and if you got to the end of my story, thanks for reading!
