The Challenge today was to create a card with no stamps. I used PTI's Block Alpha Upper Case and rearranged the letters to spell Happy Birthday. the checks are washi tape.

The challenge was to imitate one of the designers cards with your own stash of flowers. Of course I chose Betsy and I always love her colors and designs. However, I realized she must have drawn the "Ball" on the jar as we  don't have that stamp. I did the best I could and it turned out ok. I used the flowers from Stemmed Statements, the Friendship pint jar and a Gathered Garden stem. The sentiment is from Ways to Say Thinking of You. I'm so excited about the Anniversary release - it looks darling!!!

From Laurie's blog I chose the sunburst and the birds but I used different birds and flowers. I chose the Brushed Birds with the Farmers Market Flowers and the banner from Fiesta Flag Birthday. I do like this design a lot.

Throwback Thursday

I love using some of my old stash like the Delicate Details and the Tulip Time. I'm ready for some tulips already and it's only February!

I love to cross stitch and when I found a die to give the holes needed I went to  town...I was limited on space but seemed to find simple cross stitch patterns and drew a few of my own.  The next challenge was to find dies to cut to fit them to fit on a card...between PTI and Spellbinders I found circles and tags to cover up the borders...Now I have to choose the recipient!

Get well soon Dawn

Make it Monday: Mixing Florals

Dawn's challenge was to mix florals from different stamp sets. I chose  Sunflower Harvest, Color Pop Autumn, and Grans Garden. The sentiment is from Banner Sentiments which I curved to fit the oval and the stencil is from the Garden Gate Kit. I often mix florals but it does take a little longer putting things away - LOL.
