I'm back with flowers!





Oh my GOODNESS!!! HELLOOOOOOOOO!!!
I have missed you!!
I am so sorry I haven't posted in a while. You know how life gets. BUSY BUSY BUSY. We went to Mexico and after that life has just flown by. I won't bore you with the details and no we did not get that nasty swine flu literally we've just been pluggin' away. With the nice weather here we have been outside all the time playing and gardening. Just plain having fun!

So on to some stamping. I have seen these flower pot cards EVERYWHERE and there is a tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers. It's much smaller than I thought it would be...never can tell by a photo but OMG I loved making it. The "pot" part was easy it's the flowers and the leaves that need a bit of attention. Placement of those is key when making the card. When you slide your "greeting" part back in the pot, you want to be sure your flowers hang OVER the pot. Looks better that way. SO make sure you don't just stick everything down. It's a science I tell ya.
I used a few different sets for this card if I recall I used Doodle This for the flower and for the leaf I used the set we got free at Regionals, Best Wishes and More. I had to cut both the leaves and the flowers out. A pain but so worth it....right?

Anyhow, please let me know what you think. I'd LOVE to hear from you.
Thanks for stopping by. I do appreciate it!
