Its Lots of Layers at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge #152

It's time for a new challenge over at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge, and this week the theme is Lots of Layers! 

I chose this fun image from StampArt Designs to use for my card, and looking through my stash for some background papers I found this 2011 calendar from My Mind's Eye, so I chose a couple of designs from it to add to the card.  I have to say it was quite satisfying to use something that I have been hoarding for so long - afterall I can't even deny how long I have had it, it has a date on it! :-)
