I Brake for Sunflowers!

 Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a sunshiny card that has no purpose yet.

It may become a birthday card or a thinking of you card...you never know.

I used MS91 to make my card.

I'm torn...a couple weeks ago I made a card with a branch and bee for my son's girlfriend's October birthday.  Her favorite flower is the sunflower though.  Decisions, decisions...I think I'll show them both to him and let him decide what she'd like the most.

I live in the country and have deer and squirrels galore.  I rarely have a sunflower actually bloom but this year I was lucky enough to have several. (well...5)  That's a pretty big accomplishment for my yard.  I'm in love with this wonderful stamp sheet and all the beautiful flowers and leaves.  Check it out at I Brake for Stamps here.

I Brake for making the most of stamps!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing the card that I made for my daughter's friend.  She graduates in two weeks but is having her party tomorrow to avoid all the party conflicts.

I wanted something bright since we're FINALLY starting to have some sunny weather in upstate N.Y.

I used 

LARGE SUNFLOWER

and 

A DAY TO REMEMBER 

on the front.

The verse is actually an anniversary stamp that I'masked of part of making it much more versatile.

On the inside I used

HAPPY GRADUATION

Courtney's such a sweet girl.  She has such a sunny disposition that I thought this stamp would be perfect for her!

Hello and happy Tuesday!

Today I'm sharing a birthday card that a friend requested.  Her sister-in-law's favorite flower is the sunflower so as soon as she said that I knew which image I wanted to use.

My favorite flower is the Black-Eyed Susan which is very similar so I enjoyed making this card a lot.

Here's the inside.

Better late than never?

I'm sure many of you have noticed that I've been missing for a little while now.

The rains have finally stopped but the rebuilding of people's lives will go on for a very

long time.  There are still people who haven't even been allowed back in their homes 

because the power and gas companies are so overwhelmed they haven't been able

to check them yet.  I guess this is what happens when your river is normally considered

to be at flood stage at 18' and the waters this time crested at almost 41'.  It's hard to fathom.

Anyways...before I lost power and took my leave of absences from my 4 design teams

I did have a few cards set to go that I didn't get to post.  Even though these challenges

have passed I'd like to share what I created in case you didn't see them on the challenge

blogs.  Today I'm sharing my sunflower cards from Sugar Creek Hollow's challenge 

2 weeks ago.  Hope you like them.

I loved this challenge so much that I made two cards for it.

 

Over the next week I hope to return to my normal DT posting schedule.

I'll be filling in my off days with the cards I didn't get a chance to post.

It's good to be back!
