Happy opening day of HYCCT 2015!!! This is my favorite time of year at SCS. HYCCT brings us all together for a common purpose to encourage the warriors battling breast cancer. I love that we get to know one another a little better through our stories written in card descriptions and when we hang out in the chat threads. So here's my first card's story.
I know what you are thinking. "Angie misread Lydia's HYCCT1501A challenge", right? Nope! My card is depicting kite flying weather. I am not a fan of windy days! Growing up in Kansas the wind rarely stopped blowing, making picnics and camping a chore. If we didn't hold onto our plates we could lose it all as the wind tossed plates, burgers, and chips through the air. Setting up a tarp and tent could take forever as the wind whipped them about!! Interestingly, it's rare to have a windy day where we reside in the middle of Georgia so it's easy for me to smile!
I have included a sun on my card and although it's not my least favorite weather, I actually prefer the rain. I know, that's really weird but it's true, funny thing, my daughter also prefers a rainy day!

Angie,
Wow, I do not like the wind either, makes it bad to be outside with allergies! Never thought of doing a card for windy weather! This is great, love that you got all the aspects of a day out kite flying!!

Wind can be a real pain can't it! Our yard is the church's yard as we're in a parsonage on the church property and it is HUGE! No trees to speak of so the wind whips across the yard. We get enormous drifts in winter and my garden gets blown a lot too.
LOVE your clean card with the beautiful coloring even if I'm with you on the wind thing!

Really cute, Angie! I like how each item stands out against the white bg! I have learned to appreciate each kind of weather, but Lydia asked for our least favorite, so I went with a dreary cloudy day. I'm happy to live in an area that experiences each season. I never get tired of too much of any one since it's always changing~
