I finally got some time to myself and the Inspirational Challenge to-day was the perfect creative outlet. What a fabulous site. I was inspired by all the curves and bumps of these candlesticks http://globaltable.com/product_view.php?id=114 . I haven't used this lace folder from SU for a while and the Martha Stewart border punch was the perfect 'go-with'. The flowers are from Nellie Snellen double punches (punching and embossing) and the small flowers are an unknown $tore purchase. The lines are stickers from starform. To-day was a good day to stay inside and create as it is raining and foggy out. I was going to do some housework but my Mother always told me that 'Housework ruins your good looks' and she would never tell a fib!

Now those are some words of wisdom I can get behind ;) I like what you did with the candles as your inspiration ~ I didn't think the candles were anything to look twice at [if you tell anyone I said that I'll deny it ] but your card is just wonderful! The colors are so pretty together and I'm glad you explained about the stickers ~ I had wondered

Ah Sue, you chose a very interesting item to be inspired by and I love what you did with it! Such a wonderful sunny card! I love all the scalloped edges and the different embossing textures as well as the beautiful flowers.

I've always loved yellow and white together but never would have thought to pair them with kraft. I've certainly had my eyes opened big time! I love all the texture and movement in your gorgeous card! ....and from now on I'm preserving what's left of my looks. :-)

First you describe me in your description of curves and bumps, then you go and pop my bubble and tell me just what happened to my good looks, it's all the house cleaning!
Either way, Sue, I love this card! Such a warm, homey and country feel!
Now back to the house cleaning, maybe that's a chore I'll let the DH have!
My Mom told us eating eggs would make our bosom bigger, yeah right! I like the house cleaning one better!
