Two Days in a Row!!! FTTC171

Alert the media!!!  I've posted 2 days in a row again!!!  *grin*  

The Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge for this week is to make a thank you card.  I get so focused on birthday cards, that I rarely make anything else.  It will be nice to have a card already made up & ready to go.

Stamps: With Gratitude Flourishes

FLLCMAYRW1 Purple Tulips

If my Gran was still alive, this would have been a card I would have sent her.  She sure did love purple!   As I was making this card, someone else came to mind & so I will get this card ready to mail out to her.  And while she may not like purple as much as my Gran did, I know that she will enjoy the happy mail!

I made this for Flourishes Noon Time Challenge.  Have you seen the sneak peeks?  The hydrangeas are gorgeous!!!

Stamps: April Showers Flourishes
C/S: Certainly Celery, Almost Amethyst, white

May Birthday

Kevin's step-mom's birthday is next week.  I'll be seeing her this weekend for our niece's college graduation, so I'll be able to hand deliver this to Leah.   Of course, the one card I won't have to mail uses tiny bling!!!  LOL!  Oh well, we'll see if the other cards I need to mail out this month work out that way.

Stamps: Craft Secrets
C/S: white, black
copics, red twill ribbon, red rhinestones

GKD New Release Challenge

When I saw Cat's challenge to use something you would find in the produce dept on our card, I knew I wanted to use these pears.  I colored them 4 or 5 different times, all of them ended up in the trash! LOL!  I finally got them to turn out the way I wanted them to.

STV12MON14 Happy Mother's Day!

I am the hostess today on Stamptv!!!  *grin*   Before we moved, I had looked at my calendar & tried to get all of the cards for during & just after the move ready.  I knew that May is a busy month for us even without any graduations & this year we have 2 of those.  I knew I would have plenty of time to take care of the May cards once we got moved & settled.  Well... I didn't expect the internet to take forever.  So, my challenge for the Mix It Up Monday on Stamptv is to create a Mother's Day card.  (Mom, this isn't your card! *wink*)    I still have 2 more Mother's Day cards, 2 graduation cards, plus a bunch of birthday cards, but I have one Mother's Day card off the list!  *smile*    You can find the challenge on Stamptv here:  Mix It Up Monday

Stamptv Inspiration Challenge

I made this for this week's inspiration challenge on Stamptv. Just squeaked it in before the deadline! It felt so good to participate in a challenge again!!

On a personal note, we finally have internet at our new home. Who would have thought that it would be so difficult to get internet in this day & age?! The one company wanted to build a 60 ft. tower & put it on the top of the house... ummm... I don't think so!!! But, we got it hooked up & survived without internet for almost 2 weeks!!! *grin*
