365 Cards - Day 182 - buttons and bows

Wow! It seems like forever since I have sat down to make a card! Been traveling a lot, preparing for Hurricanes and hosting family. Finally had a quiet day before I head out again and tried to catch up on long lost challenges. At 365 Cards, for Day 182, the challenge is Buttons and Bows. Your card must have five buttons and five bows. I made this card today for the challenge and it will go to my niece for her birthday. The image and sentiment are by Anita's and the embellishments include Divine Twine , flowers by Martha Stewart. and gems by Bazzil Basics. Great to be back in blogland. Take care. Yvonne

Bloggers' Challenge - Floral Frenzy

This seemed like such an easy challenge over at Bloggers' Challenge when I first read about it, but when I had insomnia in the middle of the night, and decided to get started on my entry, I struggled with my approach! I couldn't decide if I wanted my flowers to be the background paper, the stamp or the embellishments. In the end, I remembered a stamp by Anita's that I had that had lots of flowers on it and I added felt flowers over some of them. The "Mother" sentiment is by Studio 112. Perhaps it was the hour of creation, but I decided to keep my card clean and simple. I have really enjoyed seeing everyone else's creations. Why not enter too?
