Make A Wish

Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today. 

I am so enjoying my time off school. I have been crafting and starting the re-organization of my craft room. Nothing too major just looking for better ways to organize what I have. I have been walking with my hubby on the days I don't go to the gym. I work out with 3 other women and we have kept each other going for the past 5 years. 

It's also time for me to harvest the first crop of basil and make some pesto. I freeze it without adding any Parmesan cheese and then when I take it out the cheese gets added along with a bit more olive oil. We so enjoy having this all winter long. I will probably get to that tomorrow. 

Now onto my card for today. This one I made for the color challenge #740 on Splitcoaststampers. I was the hostess and the color trio I chose was mango melody melody, poppy parade and call me clover. Optional was a birthday or thank you card. 

mango melody, poppy parade, call me clover

I made a birthday card for a friend who is a mushroom connoisseur. She buys her mushrooms at this specialty store in Avondale, PA. She raves about the quality of their mushrooms. I have had them and can say they are quite delicious. She always brings back some exotic mushrooms when she travels there. So, I thought she might like this card.

I used the CottageCutz stitched mushrooms die and cut them in the challenge colors. On the largest mushroom I added a layer of crumb cake (neutral).

My background designer paper is from the Stampin'- Up Painted Seasons collection. It has all the challenge colors.

My sentiment is from the Stampin'-Up "life is grand" set. It's one of their distinctive stamps. I love the big bold sentiments and the way the set stamps.

I added some poppy parade ribbon and a few poppy parade dots and my card is complete. Well, that's it for me for this post. So until next time...….God bless.
