I can't believe I have to head back to work today...sniff!!! I really enjoyed staying home with my girls and hubby! Oh well, I guess I have to suck it up...LOL!!! The last few days I was trying to get my house back into order and also tried to stamp for some upcoming challenges.
One of the cards I made is for today's Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge ~ FTTC99. Barbara is our host this week and she is challenging us to use *FLOWERS* on our cards!!! In the mist of all the cold temps and snowy conditions in many parts of the world, we are going to brighten and warm things up a bit with some flowers! Just add any kind any style of flowers to your card or projects this week! Looking forward to your ideas!
My inspiration for today's card came from Mona's CR84FN9 Color Challenge and from this weeks Featured Stamper #204 ....my sweet blogging friend Marisa. We both go back a few years now...we actually met over on Splitcoaststampers and I'm so thrilled that she was chosen to be showcased this week! I decided to case this beautiful card from her gallery. I changed the Border Punch, the Colors and used a different Stamp Set.
Please make sure to check out the rest of the team ~ Barbara, Betty, Cindy, Dee and Maki!!! Please make sure to stay tuned for our 100th Challenge next week...you don't want to miss it!!!
