De-stressed

Hi ladies!
It's that time again, OCC Challenge time!  This week, our challenge is hosted by Sarah at THinkING STAMPS.  Now I want you all to send her some love, she lives in Christchurch, New Zealand, where the recent earthquake was.  There is a lot of devistaion, her house was flooded and she was looking for a place to stay last we typed.  Send her all your thoughts and prayers this week, it's a very scary time for her, her friends and family.
On a brigthter note, her challenge this week is De-stress with Distressing! ...how appropriate...  Following the sketch she provided, here is the card I made.

I'm giving it to my Mother-in-law this weekend, she's visiting and we're celebrating our birthdays tonight with the Tierney clan.  I distressed the panels and added white paint to make it a little more spring-y.  Now go and release some stress and distress with us!

Hope you are having a great weekend.
