My wish for rain almost came true today as we woke up to thunder and lightning at 5:45am. Atticus did his guard dog duty and went tearing outside to tell off whoever was making all that noise. :) Despite the noise and light show we only got a sprinkle of rain. The rest of the day was just cloudy and muggy. Good enough for staying in the Craft Cave though! 
I'm working on my special orders but I also took some time to play. I combined a few challenges for this card. The colours were taken from the latest Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger challenge. As soon as I saw the inspiration photo I thought of these Doodlebug papers that have been languishing in my stash. I paired them up with the sketch from the Fusion challenge and used stamps from the Sweet Stamp Shop - I'll be joining their Use What You Have Challenge since my papers are from 2005!
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Bazzill, (Basic Black) Stampin' Up
Patterned Paper: (Obviously Orange Stripes, Obviously Orange Grid, Tangerine It's About Time, Limeade Sweet Stripes) Doodlebug
Stamps: (Candies and "sweet" from Sweet Tooth) Sweet Stamp Shop, ("Hope your day is" from So 80s) WPlus9
Inks: (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko, (Pumpkin Pie, Wild Wasabi) Stampin' Up
Embossing powder: (Seafoam White) Ranger
Dies: (Nesties Labels One) Spellbinders, (Double-Ended Banners) Papertrey Ink

Jen, this is a fun card and perfect for all of the challenges! It does feel good to use your stash, doesn't it? I love the colors and the fun sentiment!
Very sweet card--pun intended. Wow--you have a lot of paper! Good thing you used a fraction of a piece.
I love how you combined the challenges. The way the sentiment is stamped is so clever and I love the amazing paper pieced candy.
Hrmphhh... That's all we had, threatening storm clouds ... I wanted rain :0(
Fabbo card, great way to use the sketch and the papers make pretty sweet wrappers too!!

Hey Jen! Thanks for linking this up to this week's Tuesday Trigger in the Moxie Fab World! I'm so glad you joined in on all the fun! :)
That sounds like the weather we're expecting today - basically body temperature, with humidity of 80% and climbing...and thunderstorms threatening but probably not happening. UGH! And good for Atti :) Abby hides instead ;)
