from Mother's Day Bouquet

Here is another card for Raq's Challenge.  I'm sure you'll recognize the paper, it's the same as yesterday.  I really love pinks and purples.  The flower is from the new Mother's Day Bouquet seasonal cartridge.  This cart has all your flower cuts in one place and they all coordinate together very well.  I cut the same flower 5 times beginning at 3" and decreasing a quarter inch for each cut.  The center is one of those create your own brads from Stampin UP (can't remember what it's called).  The flourishes are foil embossed stickers from Forever in Time that I picked up at the Scrapbook Expo.  I rolled the flower petals around the handle of my file to give them some added shape and dimension.

The only things I found at Tuesday Morning yesterday were some Cropper Hopper 12 x 12 paper files.  I'm going to move all my plain colored cardstock into them so it's separate from my patterned papers.  Right now all my papers are by color families on a rack which is way too overcrowded.  I think separating plain from patterned will make life easier.  I'm talking about individual sheets of paper, here.  I have 3 jetmax cubes and two tubs full of Stacks!!!  Oooooh, I do love my paper.

I also have to catch up on my Card Fairy missions so I'd better get to work.

Hugs and Happy Crafting,
