This card is actually for my daughter, Kris, who has been going through some really tough times due to an accident her husband Jeremy had in July of this year. This has turned their lives upside down - but I am very proud of her strength and courage through it all. I used puffy-Jeep stickers from Dollar Tree, and die cut grass/trees from a spellbinders die set. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up and the inside says "Stay Strong, Stay Positive", I think from Crafters Companion on HSN. I wanted to use purple as the base, but to my surprise I didn't have purple cardstock to make the base card. I should have used that little piece I did have in my stash and then let the trees and leaves make up for the short piece, but then thought the sky is blue, so what the heck. LOL Thank you to all have been supported my daughter and Jeremy through your card ministries !!

This is great...perfect for Kris being a Jeep lover. I hope our cards are an encouragement for her and let her know she is thought of. All the best to you and your family Mac!

Mac, I love the scene you created here for those very cool jeeps; but, even more, I love the strong, positive message you are sending Kristine. I have no doubt your love and support are helping her through this difficult time. I think the sentiment on the front applies to you as much as to her. And, like Polly, I hope are cards offer hope and encouragement too -- starting with this wonderful card by you. Hugs.

I really like the way you used the green and blue card to create the background for the dies. Great jeeps.
My card will go in the post tomorrow, there's been a long break in the postal services here, and a couple of very wet days last week when I wasn't tempted to leave the house once I'd finished work.
