A Birthday Card for the Double D Challenge.....

Good morning my friends.  Don't faint.. it is well and truly me back with a new card I have made for a friend and also to enter in the Double D Challenge.  Things have been a little crazy around here with lots of yard work and housework and dog work etc...  You know the drill and since it's just me here it all lands in my lap.  Just about the time I have it all under control it starts to rain again.  I'm really trying not to whine but my craft time is almost zero!

I had a friend's blog pop up in my side bar this morning and she reminded me I should enter the new challenge over at  Double D Challenges.  The theme this time is:  Pick three ..... Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed or Blue

My card has Something Old, Something New, and Blue.  The old is  paper from the Heartfelt Creations Wilderness Retreat Collection.  The New is the string and the paper is blue.  I just love this sweet little bunny and the card is a new to me fancy fold with the corner pocket.  The tag opens up and you can write a sentiment inside.  I love being able to write something personal inside my cards.

Happy Birthday Double D Challenge!

Good Friday morning my friends and welcome.  I've been missing for a bit but I've been putting Christmas away...what can I say...I'm slow.  I'm here this morning to play along in the Double D Challenge  and to wish them a very Happy Birthday!  Below is a copy of their mood board for the challenge.

And here is my card:

I used a new embossing folder from Simon Says Stamp called Fresh Daisies.  As I love daisies you will be seeing a lot of this little beauty.  I embossed a piece of bronze cardstock and used white ink to rub over the image.  The photo doesn't do it justice.  Now I just need to decide where to send this one.  I have a few birthdays coming up for family.

More Sunflowers.....

Good Monday morning everyone and welcome.  Today I'm sharing more sunflowers and a box I made.  I got the instructions for the core box from Liz Gaze, one of the ladies making videos for Heartfelt Creations but I chose the paper, flowers and that sweet little dragonfly.  I am entering this box on the Double D Challenge (Sunflowers).  I have always loved sunflowers and when I make them I make a bunch, so you may be seeing more in the coming days.  

I hope  you enjoy this box as I really enjoyed making it.  I actually made four of these boxes over a couple of weeks so I used many sunflowers in the process.  If you have time and would like to play along, hop over to the challenge and have a look around.  It's lots of fun!
