Embellish Challenge w/Stripes

HI everyone! Hope you're having a great Thursday. :) The sky is sunny and bright here in Maryland today, just look at my photo! LOL, normally there is a lot of indirect sunlight coming through the window when I take my photos, but not today, it's full on direct sunlight. LOL :)

My daughter has a stuffed animal (a leopard named Gracie) that she normally takes with her everywhere, including school. It had been used as a fidget toy in the past, but now I think she brings it with her more out of habit. Well wouldn't you know it, she decided that she did NOT want to bring Gracie to school with her today. I'm thinking, okay, fine, no big deal. Well, today was their pajama party day... A day where the kids get to come to school in their pj's, and bring their favorite stuffed animals with them. So, while Lindsay is normally the only one *with* a toy, she is now the only one *without* a toy. LOL, she's such a pickle.

I created this card for the current Embellish challenge, which was to create a card using brown, kraft and purple, as well as stripes. Have a great day! :)
