This is an ATC I made for Wicked Wednesday ATC challenge. A few weeks ago they posted on how to turn your ATCs into a card. I instantly thought of my mother when I seen the challenge. "You are my sunshine"
Every time my mother can she tells me that when I was little I would just walk around singing this song. Non stop. I would sing it to her every chance I got she always reminds me, of course when its most embarrassing. It just seemed fitting for me to make her a card saying it.
So I started with an ATC. Simple enough, I make tons of them. Then I built the card around it. That got harder. I should have pulled my papers together before to see what I had but nope..I just ran with it.
Following challenges below. Give me a sec please

SUPER cute creation! I love to create smaller pieces that can be easily added to card as well.
ReplyDeleteI adore that song - It was the other way around for me. My mama always sang it to us (my siblings & I) when we were children. It was the greatest thing in the world to me!
