Sunshine

  I have exciting news!!  I was asked to join the design team for the Creative Moments challenge blog!!  Today is my first post as a team member.  The challenges go live on the second Monday of the month and last for a month.  So, make sure you go check it out and then play along!  This month's challenge is: For a Special Lady/Mother's Day

Our fabulous sponsor is All Dressed Up

And here is my card:
I decided I would make a mother's Day card for my sister-in-law.  She has three young kiddos (10, 8 and almost 6) and I think she is an amazing mom!  So sweet and caring and never seems to lose her cool.  I chose this beautiful image to work with; this chick is all set to go to the beach!  I absolutely LOVE how this card turned out!!  I'm not always the best at mixing patterns and papers, but since the papers all came from the same paper pack, they work together perfectly!  And best of all, I got to use up some scraps--the floral pieces only had to be trimmed to length and while I did trim the striped piece both in length and width, I did not have to trim it very much.  I did something very unusual for me, I used a colored card stock for my sentiment panel, but I think it ties in well with the sunshine sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by and make sure you head over to the Creative Moments blog to see what the rest of the Design Team created and to get the full details for the challenge.  I can't wait to see what you create!

Supplies:
Stamps: All Dressed Up "Beach Ready" digi; The House That Stamps Built "Mom's like you . . ."; Verve "Joyful Blooms" (the main reason I bought this set years and years and years ago was because I saw someone stamp it on patterned paper and fussy cut it out.  It had continues to be my go to way to use these flowers and I still love it!!  This may have been the first or second set I bought from Verve probably 12-14 years ago!)
Dies: Verve "Sprightly Sprigs"; Spellbinders "Classic Ovals, large"
