Inspiration Challenge hosted by Amy - Simply Cute Tees
I used one of Amy's samples; I was inspired by the color scheme and by an image with words under it. Forums at Splitcoaststampers
Free 4 All Challenge hosted by Susie - to be inspired by a Childhood memory
When I first read the challenge, I thought great idea! Then I could not think of anything. When I laid down to go to sleep that night, all these ideas popped into my head! Two things stuck and I had the perfect stamp to represent both! For a Christmas gift , I received a BIG stuffed Snoopy when I was in elementary school. I loved it!
Around the same time, for a school project, all the students were given a pen pal of our same age & grade. I wrote to my pen pal faithfully and was always so happy to receive her letters in return. We stayed in contact long after the school project ended. Sadly we lost contact in our teen-age years. I cherish the friendship memories.
Fun challenges. TFL

What a great way to showcase some lovely childhood memories. I loved your story, I had forgotten all about my pen pal. I love how you combined the challenges - and thanks for the walk down memory lane Diane.

What an absolutely delightful card this is Diane to recall those wonderful memories you have of your stuffed Snoopy and pen pal relationship too. This card just makes me smile really big! ~Karen.

Perfect memory for the challenge and indeed, for our card making (and sending) hobby in general! Love that Snoopy image and your classic colour scheme with a dash of blue!
