My lovely friend, Heather, and her darling family have finally moved into their new digs. I am so happy for them and I wanted to send them a little housewarming gift to help celebrate. To go along with it, I created a card inspired by this week's Mojo Monday sketch and the fun Scrappy Saturday "Celebrate Good Times" Challenge.

Wow - it was not until I clicked over here I could see how juicy and bright your card is. The little house is just darling. I'll bet your card will stay displayed for a long loooong time at the home where it goes to!
