Fred She Said Tulip Bouquet

 Happy Thursday!  Here is a card to share that was made for the Teaparty Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers.  Our cards this week are going to Denise in Texas who is going through health problems.  She loves Tulips, so for the challenge I thought I would pull out my trusty Fred She Said Tulip Bouquet and create a card for her.

I love this image and thought of it right away when I saw to bring tulips! Spellbinders Labels Twenty-Eight frame those tulips. The corner is from Heartfelt Creations called the Decorative Blossom Corner die. The pearl flourishes are from Want2scrap and last but not least the leaves are Spellbinders Foliage 2 sprinkled with a few Recollection Pearls. The watering can has been covered with glossy accents and, of course, I had to use a few touches of glitter here and there!

Thanks for taking a moment from your busy day to stop by.  Sure to appreciate it.  Wishing you a day filled with wonderful crafty thoughts.  See you soon!

Teapot-Home Sweet Home

Today I am showing you the card I made for this weeks Teapot Challenge. Our cards are going to Charlene to bring her some cheer. Charlene lives in Washington State and is terminally ill. She was a Realtor so we were supposed to do a house or something to go in and around the house or flowers.
I don't know if I had mention this before, but before I moved to Georgia my husband and I had built our dream home of a Log Cabin(that is the ultimate craft project!)lol. Log Homes are near and dear to my heart so I thought I would bring one to Charlene.
I included this sentiment as I though as a Realtor she would get a kick out of it. A bit of Realtor humor.

Tilda Twins at the Teaparty

Greetings blog friends. I wanted share with you today a card I made for the Tea Party over at Splitcoast Stampers. I just started playing over there the last month. I love the concept of sending my card to a complete stranger to cheer or brighten their day. This week our destination is whoever loads their card to the left of us. And can you imagine the luck of the draw would have it that I am sending this card to my former Design Team Sister Phyllis (sparkleplenty) from Midnight Madness. Is that cool??? lol

I also wanted to play the Magnolia Down Under Sketch Challenge. They have an awesome sketch which is right up my alley for my style of card making. You can click on the link in my Challenge roll at the bottom of this post to join us.

There is so much detail on this card, I may miss something:
Spellbinders: Parisian Motifs, Parisian Accents, Foliage. Large Circles
Martha Stewart-Eyelet Lace Border Punch, Large Butterfly, Small Butterfly
Cuttlebug-Roses Embossing Folder
Prima Flowers, Pearls, Heart Pearls, Rhinestone circled pearls, Ribbon, Stickles,
Image: Tilda with Cherries

Also there is a tag behind the Tilda image with a sentiment. I am so sorry I do not know who made these clear stamps. I won them in a drawing and did not keep the cover. :O{

I wanted to show you a close up of these rhinestone surrounded pearls. I found these in the Bridal section at Hobby Lobby. The wires you see curled are part of these little floral accents. I love the way they look. Thank you for stopping by today and viewing my card. I am all in a tither because Mother's Day is just a week and a half away. I need to work on my Mom's gift. Then her Birthday is May 22. So you will be seeing the fruits of my labor soon. If you could find it in your heart to pray for my Mom, I would appreciate it. Her health issues have kept her home bound since October of 2010. Her name is Rita. Thank you so much.

Please Don't Pick the Daisies

Please don't pick the Daisies!!! Well, they are pretty so if you must, go ahead. They are right up there with Black Eyed Susan's for me. Both pretty flowers in their simplicity. These flowers are so easy to make. Just punch with a "Marvy" flower punch, gently fold each petal in the middle, layer, and use some yellow stickles for the center.

This product is a desire for me to join in the Tea Party over at SCS. You can read about it here. I started this on Tuesday, but didn't finish it until today. Not that I worked on it all the time. This only took me about an hour and a half, but I have had horrible allergies this year and my asthma is all worked up big time. I finally broke down and did a breathing treatment last night and one this morning and am feeling better. At least I am not wheezing and coughing so much.

My image is from a google search. It is a coloring page. I printed it and colored with copic markers. It was perfect for the Tea Party theme. Thank you for stopping by to view this card. It is going to be winging it's way to "Destination Station" to Idaho to a lady who loves cats and has had many health problems of late. I hope it will brighten her day.
