Hope you all had a wonderful weekend??? We had two Volleyball games in town and I'm beyond thrilled that we won both games...GO EAGLES!!! GSU is currently tied in 1st-place!!! Our girls are on *fall break* and I'm only working a few days this week....yeah!!! We signed Sarah and Becca up for a *Volleyball Camp* and they are having fun!!! Mimi and I are getting to hang out for a few hours here and there without her big sisters...and she is lovin' it!!! So much going on this week...we have the *fall fair* in town and maybe we'll go there for family night tonight :) ?!?
Anyway, today we are having a new Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge ~ FTTC89 for you!!! My sweet friend Maki is hosting and she is challenging us to create a card /project were the *SENTIMENT* is the focal point!!! Hope you'll join us for this fun challenge?!?
Here is my idea.....
I inked up the beautiful sentiment from the Lily of Hope Set. Matter of fact I'll be mailing this card to my co-worker Janice. She is currently hospitalized and still waiting for a heart transplant. If you follow my blog, you know she survived two very critical surgeries this past Friday and it's truly a miracle that she is still with us!!! Her live is a real roller-coaster right now and I hope this card will bring a smile to her face!!!
For my card today I used the DP from the SU So Saffron Collection. I added some *faux stitching* to it with a White Gel Pen. The right side of my card was scored. I also scored the So Saffron CS behind the sentiment. Since I love the look of the sweet little Paper Doilies...I couldn't resist and added one in the background. I also added some Silver Pearls and some sparkly new White Prima Flowers.
Now to the fun part :) !!! My birthday is tomorrow and I decided to celebrate it with some Blog Candy!!! One lucky winner will be able to pick one Flourishes Set of their choice!!! I will also put some extra goodies in the mail for the winner!!! Leave a comment and I will choose one lucky winner this Friday night!!!
Please don't forget to stop by ~ Barbara, Betty, Cindy, Dee and Maki's blog to see their ideas on this weeks challenge!!!
Here are a few challenges that I decided to play as well:

Hallo Silke,
heute darf ich dir ja zu deinem Geburtstag gratulieren: Happy birthday to you !!! Mögen alle deine Wünsche und Träume in Erfüllung gehen.
Deine Karten sind traumhaft schön, du verstehst es "einfache" weiße Karten in kleine Kunstwerke zu verwandeln. Beneidenswert. Zu Deiner heutigen Karte fehlen einem einfach die Worte, sooo schön ist die.
