TLC215 Flower Pot Pocket Card {4/6/09}

[Lynn in St. Louis]

Hi everyone. As we all have heard, April showers bring May flowers, but what are we supposed to do in April? Just wait around? I don't think so. Many areas already have flowers blooming, but if your location doesn't, here's a little project that will fill your home (and hopefully the mailbox of a friend) with wonderfully blooming thoughts.

Today we have a project that will have the flowers blooming, whether rain or shine, snow or thaw. I saw an adorable project by Stephanie Luman where she created this adorable Flower Pot Pocket Card, and I loved it so that I wanted to share it all with you. Stephanie has some wonderful directions to create this project which can be found HERE.

Anyway, you will find these really easy to create and a fun project. I'd love to see how you creative ladies interpret and modify this project...I even suspect that some of you may not use flowers at all. I can't wait to see what you come up with. Each week I'm truly amazed at your ingenuity.

To view my sample for this week's project, CLICK HERE

And remember to use keyword TLC215 (no spaces) when you upload your project so that it will be added to the appropriate album.

HINT FOR NEXT WEEK: Save a soda (or pop - depending on where you're from...lol) can.

thanks so much for the challenge and early post! I am such an earlybird! teeheeheeee!!!

[Cook22]

Oh - I wasn't going to check. Just back from the dentist, and I was going to be good and do the housework...but that looks like FUN.
As for next week, we don't drink pop - or soda, or any other name

[Rosiebudstamp]

adorable project! Thanks for the directions!

I'm sure one of your neighbors would be willing to donate one for your cause.

This is such a great project. I give a class every month to a group of ladies and I just know that they would love to make this. Thanks for all of your creative ideas!! I will be making this soon.

This is just too adorable! Can't wait to play, but alas, it's off to work I must go.

[Lynn in St. Louis]

I feel your pain! I'm going to the shower to get ready for my 8 hours of drudgery...lol At least I can wear jeans to work today. It's opening day in St. Louis Cardinal's Country, and so the entire town is in celebration...lol

This project is adorable and will be a great way to take my attention away from the snow storm........already 2 inches on the ground and expecting 2 more!

Love the card can't wait to get home and make it for my son & daughter in law's Easter card.. it's raining (with thunderstorms AND snow predicted here) so no baseball will be played here today - but I certainly wish that my boss would allow jeans to celebrate opening day.
