Thanks So Much






Happy Saturday...I sure hope you have had a wonderful day!  I have created this cute 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 sqaure card for several challenges...I adore the Shabby Tea Room inspiration photos....yummy cupcakes!  I am still wanting to make homemade strawberry cupcakes and this photo has me more in the mood.....*grin*  I have been wanting to make one of those amazing loopy felt flowers that Tosh has been teasing us with...lol.  You can get the instruction over at SCS here.  I used the colors from The Color Throwdown color challenge, I adore these together...it is fun and cheery!  All of this inspiration has brought my little loopy flower square card together.  My dh and I have so much to be thankful for and we don't ever want to take that lightly.  I will leave you with this amazing quote of gratitude...I luv it...there is so much truth in it......enjoy!

    I am not really a girly-girl, but this flower is WONDERFUL. So much detail in this fun card Teresa. Love the stitching and I am a sucker for anything that uses the SU Bella Rose DP!! So well done.
