First....I AM A LEFTIE, living in a right-handed world. When I was little, the teachers tried to get me to switch to my right hand. Nope, it wasn't happening. Us lefties have certainly learned to compromise in this right-handed world!
I did the CC challenge for this week with the encouragement of Kim (luv flowers). Oh, I do love these colors. I used old olive as I don't own lucky limeade. I also used a new stamp set from Unity and I think they're gorgeous blooms!
I rode with one daughter to school in Kansas and flew home Tuesday and my other daughter started a new career on Monday...I am so blessed with remarkable young women! I am so proud and impressed with how they interact with others. I will be making another of these...somewhat similar. Each of my daughters will get one as they are both such beautiful souls.

Pam, your card is so lovely and I REALLY like how you colored your flowers......they really have a sense of a constant light source hitting them, by the way that you varied your shading. The soft sponging on the edges adds so much too.

What about me, will I get one?? This is a MOST gorgeous card!!! I LOVE the colors - they are one of my favorite combinations. That new stamp image is beautiful. I also really love the gray ribbon. I'm not the biggest gray fan yet, but that shiny ribbon does a lot for me. The fancy brad ties this all together so nicely. You should be so happy with yourself for creating such a nice card after not stamping for a while. Hugs!! :>)

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
life is something that happens only when you run out of cardstock
