Roses~Roses

Well, the baby shower I hosted is over....

I forgot to take pictures of most of it...ugh....

I so wanted to share it with you.....

I have a few I will share later...

but after a much needed break, I decided to work on a few challenges... 

and take the day off ~ doing what I want

I made a beautiful card for two challenges....

for Joan's Gardens, the challenge being

pink and white

use a die for a cut out

use leaves to embellish

an embossing folder

and for Cheery Lynn Designs, the challenge being
roses...

 I used pretty in pink cardstock from SU....

and my latest Cheery Lynn Die

Window Frame A (FRM 141)

Miniature Rose Die (B152)

a Marianne Creatables Die Leaves (LR0226)...all may be purchased from Joan's Gardens

and an embossing folder that is a Tim Holtz alterations....
the roses were cut with the same SU paper, I just sprayed them with Tattered Angels...

I also want to share a few flower photos from my kitchen garden

my double ruffled poppies.....

the seeds were given to me from my friend in Canada "Lana"

and my Clematis.....
