The Sweet Life

 

Hi everyone!  I enjoyed a more restful day today after a whirlwind weekend!  We celebrated my daughter's 7th birthday!  She wanted crafty but for 6-7 year olds.......it had to be simple!  We colored stickers, made button rings, and made door hangers!  Oh yeah, and made cootie catchers!  I know some of you know what these are if you are **old ** like me!  Now way back when, they weren't called this.  In fact, I don't remember what I called them but I remember makes tons of these and playing with them for hours!  These were the American Girl version!  I'll have to post some pictures in another post of what I'm talking about!  LOL 

 

On to the card I have to share.......The Sweet Life.  Oh goodness.....I've shared here before how I LOVE floral stamps.  And this stamp set is truly beautiful, amazing, and soo easy to use!  Goes back to when I first started stamping........I learned with Stampin' Up......2 step stamping!  I'm playing along with 2 challenges for this card......see below for the details!

 

 

I've used some Lavender Sachet, Plum Pudding, and Pure Poppy ink here for my roses.  I just love how this turned out!  This card is going to a very special friend for hosting a Cajun dinner a couple of weeks ago.  I tell you she went all out with the menu!  I had my first mud bugs!  They were delish!!!
 

 

 

 

Anyway, I digress.  Here are the challenges I'm playing along with:

Thank you so much for stopping by and reading my rambling!
