Bright Simply Soft & Cards for a Cause

\

Getting a chance to play today as I have been running a fever with this stupid cold and tired of staying in bed. DH is at church and my kids will be here later today on their way to Seattle from Montana. 

 The above card is today's featured stamper. Here is the card I cased http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6465759251752564977#editor/target=post;postID=353782608203584889. I like her card a lot abut wanted to do it in the color challenge Bashful Raspberry Petals for my swap group. Not sure I like the card as it is rather bright. Also really hard to tell the raspberry ripply from the primrose petals.

Darn, did I ever time that just right since it is supposed to rain the rest of this week. Oh Linda, Linda.

I will be sending this to my sister for Mother's day. She loves purple and also butterflies are in her house everywhere therefore; I think she will like this card very much. I also made one for my mother and a swap.

New Flower Look

Hopefully I can get more time to post on my blog, I was doing great for awhile then life happened more than I wish. My DH hurt his back and we had to take him to ER via ambulance as he could not get out of bed. Then three weeks later he developed a huge kidney stone and had to have it remove just Monday. So I am home catching up on some cards instead spending my spring break on the Oregon coast.

Yesterday I was watching a box video by Brandy and loved the flower she put on her belly band. Also love using this flower punch for my BRAK birthday cards therefore, I combined the two and this is what I came up with. I order the box die cut so those will have to wait a few days but many a card to complete.
