PIP CHALLENGE TIME>>>>>

Are you all ready for a new week?? I always look at it as a opportunity for a  new beginning!
 So for our PIP Challenge this week we are being sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps.
 They generously supplied us with images. I am using the pocket of posies.
 I paper pieced the pocket and added it to the image, cut out with a Spellbinder die
 and popped dotted it on. A little embossed border and butterfly for embellie
 and its a quick card. Come join us this week its a
 Anything Goes Challenge so any project will work!

Happy Saturday!!!

Good Morning Friends, today it is my turn to host the Friends of Flourishes Challenge. 
It is a color challenge and since green and purple are my favorite colors that is the 
Challenge for today!! I have used two of our new release stamps, from the Thistle Set
 and the Tartan Plaid. Your can find them and all the other released in stamps
 and digis, so check out the store here. Although it doesnt show I stitched the plaid piece
 onto embossed background. Colored and cut out my flowers ,
 added the bow and sentiment. I love this new Thistle set, it has some very pretty
 corner pieces too. Of course you can take liberties and color those thistles any
 color you like too!  My teammates have some very pretty
 inspiration for you too. 
We would be delighted if you would join us this week.

Good Morning Ladies~~~ Today Toni has chosen Using Ribbon for the current FOF Challenge.
 I love using ribbon and this beauty I used is from the Flourishes Color Made Easy, Violet #47 Wide
. Check the beautiful selection the store has! I have used the mum from the
 Flowers of the Year #3 and the sentiment is from the Small Words Set.
 Im on a purple roll today but did make the flower contrasting in a peach color.
 The base was embossed and sanded to make it show up more.
 The fold instruction was on my desk but didnt say what it was called so Im clueless!
 My teammates have some clever uses of ribbon so check them out!
Im not sure if Gloria will be posting. There was a  fire in the apartment complex where
 they lived and they lost everything, just blessed to get out alive!

Tuesday Throwdown

Team B is up this week and our sponsor for the Tuesday Throwdown Challenge is Joy Claire and tags or bookmarks are the order for this challenge.

They sent us a fun Oh So Ink Spots Set. I started out with a a Spellbinder Scalloped Pennant turned upside down to form a tag. I covered it with different Ink Spot stamps in green, aqua and periwinkle. The little square mat for the Joy Clair Stamp is cut from a Spellbinder die as is the image. I mades some little flowers and cut some leaves. Tucked in some cheesecloth around the little square and added the hand dyed ribbon. This was a fun tag and I like the way it turned out. These ink splotches are really cool but hard to see since most are covered up..

Friends of Flourishes

Good Morning Friends~~~ Hope your weekend is off to a great start!
 Here in the Southwest Summer is trying to come a little too early for me. 
We are already having weather in the low 90's. If this keeps up we will be in the 100's by April!!
 Not ready for the heat yet but enough whining lol!  
Today the Friends of Flourish Challenge is to make a Masculine Card. 
It is always a struggle for me, since Im a flower kind of gal. I used the cup from the 
Cuppa Java Set to make a simple card. I cut off some of the sentiments tha
t were with the cut to make it simple birthday card.My hubby drinks a Lot of coffee 
and his birthday is on the 15th so Ive got it covered. 
I used a piece of corrugated cardboard for  my background.
A bit of raffia tied with a button, quick sentiment and its done!
My teammates have some Great inspiration
 for you so stop by and check them out.
 We would love for you to join us this week.
