IT'S TIME TO BLOOM

Good Saturday morning! It is another hot but beautiful day in Southern California. I think we might have brought some Michigan weather back here with us. The humidity isn't quite as high but high enough to make it uncomfortable.

This card is for the Paper Players color challenge (app6). I really like how this card came out. I do so love the colors we now have with Stampin' Up. They are so beautiful and go together so nicely.

For this card I used Rose Red for the main card. Then I layered it with Certainly Celery punched with the Scallop Trim Border Punch. The next layer is Basic Gray and the next is Very Vanilla. I used the Asian Artistry and Bella Blooms Stamp Sets (retired). I stamped the grass and sentiment with Certainly Celery and the flowers in Rose Red. I then added the butterflies made with the Big Shot and the Beautiful Wings Sizzlet. I sponged around the Very Vanilla first with Basic Gray, then with Rose Red and last with Certainly Celery. I adhered the butterflies with mini glue dots. The ribbon is 1/4 inch Certainly Celery grosgrain.

Hope you like this as much as I do.

Thanks for stoppin in!

Have a Blessed Day!

FILIGREE FLOWERS

I love these Filigree flower shaped brads. They dress up a card so nicely. The inspiration for this card came from Taylored Expressions Challenge for this week. I am just making it under the wire. It's due at 8am and it's just after midnight.

The colors I used were Soft Suede, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Whisper White dotted with Soft Suede and a stamp from Itty, Bitty, Backgrounds. This is a color challenge from Pals Paper Arts for this week. I used the Coluzzle (retired) for the circles, Bermuda Bay Polka Dot Ribbon, Filigree Brads, the 1 inch circle punch , the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and the stamp sets Dear Friends and Vintage Labels. Very cute but on the simple side. I love it, hope you do to.

Thanks for stoppin in!

Have a Blessed Friday!

WELL DONE

We are now done with the surgeries for the Essential Tremor. My husband had the last one today and came through just fine. We go to the Neurologist on Thursday, June 10th to get the wire activated and the tremor will be gone. Praise God!! This has really been an ordeal for him but he was so excited to get it done. Life will be much different for him now. No more spilling coffee or losing food from his fork, and no more embarrassing moments for him. I thank God for what doctors can now accomplish because of the knowledge he has given them.

We got home about 4p.m. today and I had stayed up last night late to get my cards created so I could share some today. I will put 2 on tonight and the other 2 tomorrow. This layout came from Mojo Monday.
