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!

Mojo Monday Sketch-Miss You Like Crazy

Good morning, it is time for this weeks Mojo Sketch, it is a circle or square week....luv both!  I have made a circle card, making it sweet and girly.  I added a flower that I misted with spritz, the crinkled ribbon, lace, and amber colored gem adds to the sweetness.  The sentiment is from the new Verve set Hope Blooms, this was my favorite set released this month!  I used Verve's A Cut Above Dies,  Jotted Heart  is the name of this one, this heart shape is so sweet.  I added a little stitching in the bottom left part of the circle and then a little distressing and sponging.  Don't forget the diva dare has started and you can link up your creation over at the Verve Blog.   There are two ways of winning, enter your creation and commenting of the divas creations, two winners will be chosen.....definitely worth playing for, don't ya think?  I hope your Monday is a good one...enjoy!
