Happy Tuesday.... And A Card Share! :)

Happy Tuesday... aka day 4 of no Alarms... and the kids are already BORED! HA HA!! :) It was nothing but RAIN yesterday so we didnt do much... today hoping they can at least get out side! I need to WALK! (they can ride!:)

I have a card to share with ya... I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Friendship Jar, and Fillers Sets.. from PTI... NOT that I have used them much.. but oh the ideas I have!! :) My Mom had to have surgery on both knees (LOVE YOU MOM!) and the kiddos and I went to visit her and take her to lunch... I had to give her a card with her flowers... I knew what I wanted to do.. those FABULOUS tulips in the Spring Set!! So this is what I came up with.. it isnt overly embellished... but sometimes I think the card just stands alone.. and to me those tulips just stand alone.. in all their beauty... (Ok I LOVE tulips that could be why I say those things! HA HA!)

My card.. and a few challenges I am entering it in!! :) Used my copics and spicas to color it, distressed edges.. stitching..and viola all done!
Challenges-
Scrappin Mojo- Color Challenge (issued by me!)
Allsorts Challenge Blog - Bloomin blossoms

Thank You for stopping by today.. we are headed out on a little road trip tomorrow... so I PLAN to take some creative fun with me... I am not much of a road trip girl.. and when I tell you it is about 4.5 hours.. some may think that is just a drive.. to me that is a ROAD TRIP! LOL!! Looking forward to it.. BUT not the snow we may see... so I will be back in a few days HOPEFULLY with lots to share!

THANKS for stopping by.. and if you read all this an EXTRA THANKS! LOL!! (I have warned you all I like to talk right! :) )
Have a GREAT day!!!

  22. As the saying goes, "Less is more." Although, I wouldn't exactly classify this card as less. The tulips are gorgeous, the coloring impressive. And the stitched border adds just the right touch. I do need to get my machine out.
    Have fun on your road trip. Hope your mom is already on the mend.
