JUN16VSNE - Splitcoaststampers Virtual Night

The challenge was to make a card related to hurdles or things that can jump or be jumped over.  It took me forever to think about this one.  Since I could not think of a stamp that I had that represented this, I started thinking about jumping over hurdles in life.  I have a friend who is currently faced with one hurdle after another in her life right now and I plan on sending this card to her and I remembered as a child playing outside running around and jumping over the flowers in my mom's flower bed (she was not happy about it either because we never made it over and always smashed a flower or too).
