Flower Sushe

Happy Friday!!!
We are being blessed with lots of sunshine and warmer weather today. I am so tired of the cold.
I made this card for Mothers Day. I am going to enter it into the weekly challenge at Cardmakers. We are to make a card for someone that is not our mother but has inspired us... I would have given it to my very best friend but she passed away about 3 years ago. So I am going to let my daughter give it to her boss. I love this cute image and you can get it from Alison at the Stretch N Bubbles Shop HERE.

I used my new American Crafts papers for this card. I punched out the roses to use as an embellishment. I used Martha Stewart punches, lace from JoAnn's, ribbon that I tea stained,corner punch is from Fiskars, sentiment is from SU and it says "one of a kind".
Challenges:
Cardmakers - Other Mothers Day
Raise The Bar - Mothers Day
The Pink Elephant - Mothers Day

Thanks for stoppping by and have a great weekend!!!

Charmed!!!

I finally found time to make a card for the Designed 2 Delight Challenge on Faith's blog. If you haven't been there you can visit HERE now and get the free image for the First of May and you have until Friday to submit your card. You then will get the next weeks image free. It's a progressive challenge... All of the images are just darling. The first one for this month is a frog and she is so darn cute. I had fun making this card. I decided to dress her up a bit...

You can't see to well in this picture but her crown is sparkly gold and has pink gems on the tips. I used some paper that I had in my stash, and some fancy pants lace. The flowers I bought in a craft store by my house. Punches are EK Success and MS.
Thanks for stopping by,

Showers bring Flowers

I have a new card for today that I did for Daisy Doodles. Jules had this cute bear with an umbrella and what a great digi for our weather we are having. I loved this image and had a lot of fun making this card. You can get this cute Freddy Bear or some of the other darling ones HERE in her shop. Don't forget about the challenge going on right now on Daisy Doodles Creative Challenges blog. It's a "Make anything but a card" theme this week and last. You have until Sunday night to get creating and submit your entry... So what ya waiting for!!! Jo made a darling Pass Word Book to be given away to some lucky winner. I would love to win this!!!!
Now onto my card...


I chose some paper with umbrella's, clouds and raindrops for my card but I can't remember who the company is. (Senior Citizen moment) The stripes and dots are from the same company... I colored the bear with copics and cut him out and popped him with dots. I paper pieced the umbrella and redrew the lines. I used a Sizzix embossing folder on the red Card stock to make the rain drops but it's hard to see in this picture. I used some long rectangle nesties and my new border punch for EK Success. The other border punch is from SU. I cut out some of the flowers from the matching paper and popped them with dots and the small ones I added brads. The sentiment is computer generated...
