celebrate

Happy Tuesday and thanks for taking the time to visit the charmed life blog. It's spring!! We have had 3 days of mild weather to go along with the season.

Just yesterday I noticed the crocuses are blooming. I haven't taken any photos yet but I will. In fact, I want to take some and then use the photos as samples in my photoshop elements class on Thursday night.

Today, is a fun day for me. Well, I cay that because I will be going to meet my grandsons' school bus and spend a few hours with them.

I was talking to Ethan (our youngest) last night and he asked me to take him to the mall today. Not something that we usually do and when I asked him why, his response was that I haven't done anything with just him lately. 
And, he wanted to spend some time with just him & I. Now wouldn't that just melt you heart??

So onto my card for today. This one I made for several challenges:

1.  The pals paper arts blog had a sketch challenge last week. I love the sketches that Margaret Moody designs. They are always great to work into a card.

2.  The crazy for challenges blog had a color challenge. I thought it was a great color choice by Silke Ledlow.

3.  The incy wincy designs has an embossing challenge. I wet embossed my flower.

4.  The Simon says stamp and show blog wants us to use "a word" on our card.

I used some retired Stampin-Up designer paper on this card. It's the berry bliss collection. My flower iamge is from Verve's  "dream big" set. I stamped it and then stamped again to wet emboss the flower.
In the center I stamped another image in turquoise from a Stampology set. I recently won this set as blog candy from Lisa E's design blog.

I added some kraft taffeta ribbon to complete all the requirements of the color challenge. The celebrate sentiment is from Stampin-Up's "just celebrate set".

Have to close this post time so until next time........
