This is my card for today's limited supply challenge, Message Bouquet. This is my story.
1. I bought a couple of those fun little M & M $1.00 tins at Michaels and at the same time saw some M & M party invitations. I bought some thinking they would make good background paper on a card someday. This is that day! LOL!
2. I hope you can see the Ghost Flowers because they are the most important part of this challenge, the flower part.
3. When my husband was taking the picture, I said..Oh Wait! I want to put this little M & M tin in the picture as a prop! I ran around the corner into my stamp room and....
4. This is where I tell you about my ice skating adventure this morning in the middle of summer, 90 degree weather during the day!
5. I had been looking through a bunch of SU/CTMH catalogs and had them scattered all over the floor. When I rounded the corner and hit those catalogs, I literally skated half way accross the room! Yikes, those things were slick!
6. I didn't do any tricks, no double toe, turn pike, toe pick, triple klutz, spinning thingamajiggys, just plain old accross the floor skating. I did however do something really cool with my arms! (A skater I am not!)
7. After I uploaded my picture and chose one with out the M & M tin in it, I was thinking....I nearly killed myself this morning and didn't even use the stinkin' picture!
