Hi again, everyone! My first card today was pretty quick, so I'm going back for a second helping of the Inspiration Challenge! When I saw this Lemon Verbena diffuser, it reminded me of the frangipani (plumeria) flowers from the stamp set 'Sweet As Perfume' from ODBD. I've been working on a birthday calendar for my mother-in-law and I'm so excited to use this stamp set for the July page. Backstory: Hubby and I went to Hawaii for our honeymoon (over 25 years ago) and brought back some Plumeria starts (which looked like cigars). My mother-in-law and I both planted the starts; mine only lived about a year but hers flourished and grew to be about six feet tall! Once a year it would bloom and it was pure joy!!!! Thanks so much for looking! Have a very blessed day!

OH how lovely! I grew up in East Africa, and we had a frangipani tree in our backyard, so right away this brought back wonderful memories of my childhood. One of the most lovely scents around, I think! Thanks for a trip down memory lane!

Beautiful calendar page! Love how you put the flowers around the edges. The verse on the bottom is excellent and goes so well with the flowers & your backstory. It's wonderful how you personalized this page with something you and your MIL shared. Excellent job. TFS
