Friend....

Yep.....that is the title of my day late card. Lol!
Life is certainly running on high speed at the moment.
My son is being confirmed this weekend and my husband is done with Bell Choir so my time running should minimize. That is until we start traveling around the county for baseball. It is only practice at the moment, so it is only one night at the moment...lol....ONLY.

Here is my card for {PIN}spirational Challenge #57
I was lucky enough to use a digi from one of our weekly sponsors ~ Flat Friends

Our other sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps.

Both are offering prizes, so be sure to check out the rules and details over on the {PIN} Blog.
Oh.....and here was the {PIN} for the week:


I followed the current sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches. They are having a judged contest this week....and I missed it by not using any flowers.....think I can get away with mentioning the fact that I took the picture in my Lilac Tree??

Calendar Girls..

Better late than ever!
I must apologize. This was due April 28, but my mojo was on vacation....I have had it done now for two days, BUT laziness and family took over. I can finally breath through my nose again, though! (TMI, I am sure)

I followed the Mojo Monday 291 sketch and came up with this card for the challenge from Carol:
As the saying goes April showers bring May flowers....
To me April showers clean the earth of its worn out snow, dust and dirt along with nurturing new seeds and life to our surroundings (gardens, yards, trees, etc). It also, to me signals new beginnings....so for this month I would like for you to create a card that does just that...it could be a wedding card, a baby card, even a New Years card...OR it could be a card that uses something worn out or pre-used and develop a new use for it...ex: mesh bag from fruit...used once to hold fruit: new beginning...used on the card...repurposed.. I know all of you are very talented crafters and I can hardly wait to see what you come up with...
Have fun with this challenge...
((hugs)) Carol
I must admit...I took the banners off another card....and the flowers from another. Nothing like going through you stash and finding those cards that just don't make you smile. I decided to go with just the Spring theme because it is a 'new' season ;-)
Make sure you stop by the other Calendar Girls' blog....they love luv too!

Mother Nature has been wrecking havoc on my head and my FIL has been ill. Two things that slowed me down this past week

NOT what I wanted to work on

I dislike making sympathy cards, but a girl must do what she has to....
Our neighbor passed away this last week, so I HAD to make a card. Let me clarify, my DH grew up in this neighborhood, so while I don't know the family, he and the rest of the clan do.

So, I kept my card pretty low key and wrote a message from the family on the inside.

I can't believe a week has gone by already!
Where has the time gone?

The {PIN} Gals had a great picture to draw inspiration from this week!


What do you think? Fun, huh?
I just adore that this is a bouquet of butterflies! And, I hope my card reflects that!


I kept the image pretty simple and only chalked in the butterflies before adding a bit of Dazzling Details on them. I must admit to having no idea where the dp came from, but the stamped sentient is SU!, cut out and layered with the tag die from Verve. The fairy is from


and, along with them sponsoring this week is


Great prizes are being given away ~ find the details on the {PIN} Blog here!
