Mothers Day Card and Colour Challenge!

I have been wanting to make a Flowerpot Card for ages and with Mothers Day just around the corner decided it was the perfect opportunity.  It also fitted in perfectly with this week's colour challenge # 21 over at Makeesha's blog, albeit just in time.   The colours chosen work so well together, Old Olive, Bashful Blue, Real Red and Whisper White and I really enjoyed working with them.

So here is my card which will be on it's way shortly to my Mother In Law.

Products used:

Woo hoo, I am so excited about this.  Becky Fleck from Page Maps is coming to Perth next month.  This has been arranged by collaboration of several scrapbooking shops in and around Western Australia for 1 day of awesome fun.  Details are available from Scrapbooks from the Heart but you have to hurry as places are very limited.  I have sent in my registration form so I am hoping that I will get a place.

U Stamp with Dawn and Friends Spring Soiree!

Wow!  The Spring Soiree over at UStamp with Dawn and Friends has started and the projects that have been posted so far are amazing.  I couldn't possibly make them all over the next 4 - 5 weeks.  So will be picking a few to make up, to start with.  One of the projects posted is a beautiful Easter Purse and card set by Becky Roberts which I have made.  It's not to late to join in either, just pop over to the website and sign up.

 Here is my take on this project. 

 

The purse I will be using as a special Easter Basket for my parents and of course the card to match.  I just love that chocolate bunny stamp he is so cute. 

I will post some more projects shortly, just finishing off a very cute Easter Egg Box.

All products used are stampin up except for the sentiment stamp and brads.

Thanks for dropping in, have a wonderful weekend.
