I wasn't suppose to have time to stamp today since it is our outside gardening and manicure the yard weekend. My hubby was up to crack the whip at 5:30 already (he took the day off to do this). Since it is 100 degrees and I have a low tolerance for heat, he sent me in. Woohoo!!! I got to play with today's challenge, LSC221! Thanks Wendy for an awesome challenge. I also incorporated the Mothers and Daughters Creation Blog Challenge to pop it up (I popped up my colored flower), the WT219 Stamp It again ( I stamped some of the flowers a couple of times), and CAS15 to use black and white and one bold bright (My bold Bright was YoYo yellow, very uncharacteristic of me and the rest of my gallery). To keep with today's Think Circles challenge, I made a circle card and the one stampset I used was Inspired By Nature. I just bought and received this one and I am already loving it!! The scallop around the circle was the hardest part on this card since my SU scalloped border punch is dull. I know now that I need to get the EK Success sharpener next time I am out. Dull punches are no fun.

Paper: Black and White CS

Wow this is totally gorgeous! I'm glad you were sent back inside and didn't have to suffer in that heat! You did an awesome job combining all the challenges in to this one beauty!
