such great samples. wish I had some talent with flowers, they stump me. don't believe me, go look at my gallery, I bet you can count the number of flowers I've used on your fingers.
I've got some thinking to do.
Wow, what gorgeous samples and entries! I love flowers, but always have a problem with them too! Must channel my inner girly-ness
I'm sooo looking forward to this new release! Like I said, I could really use some help with my flowers

You too? You can do it! I am confident. The theme is WIDE OPEN, so feel free to get creative.
Really, Kelli? Hmmm, does it take a long time to set up? Are there free ones out there??
Cindy Haffner - OH MY GOSH!! Your card blows me away! Love It!
Trust me... if I can do it.....
I used blogger . com and you just have to set up a gmail account... it's all free and you just walk through it step by step... mine is NOTHING fancy like other peoples... that takes puter smarts.... I WISH I could but I cant.... a lot of people (I Tried and failed) use cutest blog on the block. com and they have cute things to use for back grounds.... all I got out of it was a blog that changed from red and white polkie dots to a purple back ground, I changed it to plain white... better to see the cards (that's my story and I'm stickin to it!)
Just finished the sneek hop... STILL can't believe I am rubbin' shoulders with the MFT DT this month... DID YOU DO THE HOP???? WOW RIGHT???? *sigh** I SO love MFT!!!!!
If a blog is keepin' ya from doin the challenge, GET A BLOG..... it's TOTALLY worth it!!!!!
Thank you Ladies, I think I'll be working on a blog this afternoon, but I'm not much of a talker (LOL), so don't expect much! he he
KelliJo, you have me pegged. Not having a blog was holding me back from challenges. I know how to talk, but blogging is an art form
Thank you KelliJo and Cindy for everything I'm off to figure out how to blog...
YAHOO!!!!! and I had to LOL over the not much of a talker, I'm not a social person per say, but I can post some total blah blah blah on my blog... I just talk and talk and talk... I have a "captive" audience, I just ignore the fact that someone can click off...
Guess what, I have a blog Whew! That was Hard actually!! The worst was trying to find a name for the poor thing! That took about 3 hours! LOL Now I'm off to try to make a card for the MFT Guest D. Challenge, but after seeing all the great cards, I am pretty sure I'm out of contention

SUPER Amanda, looking forward to your first card. I'm your first follower!!

OK, this was a tricky one to assemble but I LOVE the way it turned out: 3D Flower card
I cut a 3D flower card on my Silhouette and dressed it up with some flower paper, a PI image and some ribbon, pearls and flowers. I stamped my sentiment directly on the ribbon with some Palette ink.
On the inside I just cut a mat in sage green with a dark pink spellbinders border just like on the front. The card stands up on it's own exactly like you see it with the back of the card being a mirror image flower of the front (e.g. it looks like a flower from the back too!!).
good morning ladies! Here's my sample for this month's Guest Designer Contest! I made my own dp with the new stamp set, How You're Garden Grows. Have fun and Good Luck!
