The weather is once again fabulous here in the South...(sorry for rubbing it in)!!! Mimi and I are getting our hair done today...did I mention Miriam gave herself a little haircut a few days back?!? Well it looks terrible...it's right on the side and I can no longer hide it.....so today she will get a *cool for the pool* haircut!!! It's the second time she has done that and I was a bit mad, because her hair finally started growing longer and now we have to cut at least 3 inches off...yikes!!! Oh well!!! If Mimi let's me I'll show you a photo of her this upcoming week.
I noticed a new Challenge over on SCS called *Queen for a Day* hosted by the fab Mrs. Ann Ryan.....and this week *Cathleen aka ctorina* is the lucky *Queen*!!! I love Cathleen's cards...she has a very elegant style and of course I couldn't resist playing along. I chose this gorgeous card from her gallery.
I wasn't sure what colors I wanted to use on my card....until I saw the IC229 ~ Green Rainbow Challenge. I saw these super cute Eco-Paints and they reminded me of the SU In-Colors. Well, I really have not used them too often and before some of them retire I figured I better use them a few more times!!!
The flowers are from the SU Vintage Vogue Set. The DP is from the Razzleberry Lemonade Collection. I I used the Top Note Die for the center. The leaves were created with the Sizzix Little Leaves Die and at last I added the Silver Pearls.
*****************************************
Since I had everything out I created another card with the same Stamp Set, DP and changed the sentiment. I used the layout from the MTSC70 Sketch. I combined this card with the WT267 - Mixing Patterns and the TLC269 - Piercing.
The sentiment is from the Friends 24/7 Set. I added the piercing, the Silver Pearls and the Rich Razzleberry Ribbon. Hope you like it???
Here are few more challenges my cards fit to:
ODBDSLC11 ~ Mother's Day
OCC Challenge ~ Blooming Blossoms
Have a wonderful weekend!!! Hugs ~S~

These are beautiful, Silke! The colors are amazing together! Have fun at the salon and a wonderful weekend!! Hugs!
Gorgeous cards Silke! Clean & polished as always :)
Oh I love both of these. Perfect colors and great paper flowers.
Hey, I noticed you have changed your Google reader feed. How is that? I was thinking of doing that as well, but am afraid lots of people will drop me from their reader. Have you noticed a reduction in comments? And, how did you change the feed?
Thanks Love and have a great weekend!!
WOW stunning creations!!! The flowers are very nice!!!

These are SO gorgeous Silke! You make me want to break in that little leaves die! Big hugs to you, have a wonderful weekend!
Two lovely cards Silke! The colors you chose are beautiful together. Love that DP. I always love the way you use pearls on your cards. Perfect!
Gorgeous cards Silke, such beautiful colors!
Love Love LOOOVE these. What great colors in the flowers and I REALLY need to get that Sizix leaf die....they're just THE perfect accent.
I saw the first one today on SCS...gorgeous! Your second card is just as beautiful! Love how you are working those in-colors! Great cards, Silke!
Both are GORGEOUS Silke.
Really Really lovely, Silke! Another example of wonderfully inspired colour choice! Had a giggle about Mimi's hair "incident". Have never had that happen with any of my kids ... but I think that might be a bit of a fluke! Hugs, Andrea xxx
Oh my this card is too cool!!! Literally, you must have been thinking of the coming up hairdo when you made this Silke!! I love the colors and I keep forgetting to pull out my piercing stuff, but you remind me...Love those flowers and the colors you chose!!
Silke, I loved this card and had been wanting to use my Vintage Vogue so used your layout as inspiration for an Easel card. Thank you for the inspiration!!
This are both to die for, Silke. Fabulous flowers and colors! Love that DP too. You ROCKED the blossoms challenge!! Great to have you playing along with the OCC girls!! Have a great week.
Hugs,
Linda
