Best Wishes

Good morning to you! I've had quite a busy and fun weekend! Saturday I spent the day with my husband shopping until we dropped! I hadn't bought myself anything new in ages and it felt good to buy some new clothes! Saturday night we attended a wedding for a fellow teacher and had a blast! I work with the best people! Then yesterday, my family went to the Misericordia picnic and volunteered our time there. Kyle worked the kids' games and Brian and I worked the main tent. The weather was beautiful and they had a great turn out. I am a bit sluggish this morning though as I prepare for work! ; )

I have a card today that mish mashes some of my favorite products, my Cricut and Crafty Secret's stamps. This was one of those cards that came from bits and pieces of stuff on my desk. (Honestly, at that point you couldn't even see the top of the desk!) The flower was created using a Maya Road kraft doily that I had cut a slit into, to the center and created a sort of cone shape to nestle my flower into. That flower was cut using my Cricut machine and Mother's Day Bouquet cartridge. I added a doily,ribbon,and some Pink Paislee twine to dress it up a bit. The sentiment is part of the Couple of Cuties set. And the pretty border is from the Antique Trims set.

I love using patterned paper for my leaves, inking them, and smooshing them a bit for added texture!

I hope you enjoyed my "hodge podge" of a card today! Time to get this booty moving for work! Have a GREAT day my friends! And thank you from the bottom of my heart for your many birthday wishes!!! : D

Oh... I just love that bright blue, bright lime and bright white. It's so cheerful and clean, but soothing and comfortable. Love how you did the flower work as well. Gonna have to try this when my FS Cart gets here! YAY!
