This is for QFTD59 and Faith aka markie's mom is our Queen for the Day. Congratulations, Faith! I had a great time surfing your gallery. I was inspired by so many that I had a hard time picking just one. I finally settled on one back on May 2009 called Speedy The Cat Wants To See The Sun. WT219 Speedy the Cat wants to SEE the SUN!!! by markie's mom at Splitcoaststampers I was inspired by her fun popped up tree and little girl standing in the sun. I kept the same layout and pretty close to the same color combination but changed the image. I changed the beach scene to a garden scene. I went a little over the top with all the flowers on the ground area around the little girl but I just couldn't help myself. Do you know how it is when you start adding stuff and you love it so much that you keep adding and adding until you have over done it. Oh well....I loved the little red flowers against the green. It seems to make everything pop. Check out the punched paper flowers tutorial on my blog if you would like to know how I make my flowers. http://kittiekraft.typepad.com/kitti...-tutorial.html

OMGoodness Kittie - this is soooo beautifully done. I too love how those pretty little flowers pop on the green. Stopped by your blog to see how you make them - thanks for sharing!! Any ideas where that MS Pine Punch can be found? I'm on the hunt for one...

O-M-GOODNESS! I know I've said b/f that I'm left speechless over the beauty of your cards, but this time I'm more that speechless. What a BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL card. I really am having a hard time expressing how pretty I think this card is.
