I received my adorable set, Tweet of You, in record time,

 and was able to make an engagement card for a sweet couple.

Have you ever had your card sort of HAPPEN?

I couldn't put my finger on what was different about this card from any other card I usually do.

Then it hit me...

the bow!

Decent bow for a non-bowmaker like myself.

However, I do feel as though someone else slapped that baby on without my knowledge.

 I love it, it's just not my usual style.

I took the three elements and shifted it to the other side with flowers.

Cure for the Winter Blues Challenge in the Moxie Fab World

has been on my mind.

It's put my favorite color- blue, 

to the forefront of my mind!

Thank you so much for stopping by today. 

Have a blessed week!

I don't really own baby stamps, so this was a great challenge for me. 

I inked up my JustRite round stamper to create a backdrop for the cute overalls punch.

I masked off part of a sentiment from Clear and Simple's Circus Fun to get "a little", and finished it off with the lovely "LIFE" sentiment.

My Flourishes Tiny Flowers and Tags sentiment "Just for You" was the perfect size to fit in the baby outfit.

Blues are on my mind...

 I was thinking of 

Cure for the Winter Blues Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

I may just try this in pink later. ;)

I appreciate you stopping in today!

~Hope of Spring~

Embellish is back with a new challenge!

We have snow predicted here, but I am holding on to the PROMISE of spring-and I'm excited!

 Although darkness shadows the day, sunshine is waiting to break.

The darker the day, the more the light will be appreciated.

 I am willing to WATCH and wait.

Embellish Spring Color Trends Challenge

~A Butterfly~

I have such beautiful paper to work with since receiving the generous prize from Linda via Savannah (World Card Making Day Hop).

What a blessing!

I just had to cut out the butterfly from the K&Company SW Nature pad. 

 I touched it up with a Sakura Gelly Roll and "redid" the antennae with skinny strips that I quilled.

I paired it with the sentiment from Flourishes "He is Risen".

 

Some little leaves from Flourishes "Tiny Flowers and Tags" are stamped in a window I cut out.

 Tammy is hosting Flourishes Timeless Tuesday #158.

The challenge is country comfort.

I am a city girl at heart, but have lived in the country now for almost 4 years.

When I think of the country, I think of INSECTS!

Butterflies are the prettiest. ;)  

I snuck in the leaves because we have a lot of those too.

I saw all these colors in the butterfly and paper!

 DYSU Challenge #61:Things With Wings.

Nothing else to share about this card except that I LOVE when I can bust out my fringe scissors. 

It was one of those "gadget" buys that I purchased before I was even a card maker. 

It sat on my shelf, unopened for 6 months or so-I didn't know where to apply it!

It always feels GREAT when I use it and fit it in somewhere.

Thank you for stopping by.

~Owl Be Thinking of You Q~

I just received my goodies from Linda via Savannah (World Card Making Day Hop).

She gave a generous prize, which included Clear and Simple "Circus Fun".

I used the dots here, along with my Craft's Meow "Owl Be Thinking of You".

See why I thought of owls? I LOVE this inspiration photo!

Have a great weekend!
