For today's Clean and Simple Challenge, CAS65, Mother's Day or May Flowers.
I needed one last Mother's Day card, so this challenge was perfect. This card design has been kicking around in my head since last week when I was working on vintage cherry cards for Mother's Day and such. I came across this lone scrap of SU cherries DP and knew I had to do *something* with it, especially now that I have the Flourishes Peaches and Cherries set. I was still thinking of last week's sketch challenge SC278 and of a great item I came across for Saturday's Jazz It Up Inspiration Challenge: http://www.jazzitupinteriors.co.uk/a.../10547grey.jpg
I used a computer-generated sentiment.
Thanks for looking!!
Emily
PUNCHEZ tally: 4 different punching tools used for a total of 18 punch actions. That's gotta count for at least a couple of pounds, right???

Really nicely done, Emily. I have to figure out this stuff about use of punches and weight loss. Sounds like something I should know about. Great use of punches for sure.

I just got this SU DP on clearance and I love how you did the squares. Your stamped image looks perfect. I can't believe you got that all around SU punch to work so well.

This layout is great - I love all the cherries. I think the punch total is worth at least a couple of pounds!
