Nothing says love like giving someone a red rose. The rose is America's favorite flower. The rose has many colors and each color has a different meaning. If you plan on giving someone roses you should find out what the color means. My favorite is yellow. It's meaning is joy, gladness, friendship, delight, freedom, the promise of a new beginning. Everyone could use a yellow rose to brighten their day!<br />
<br />
Today I am sending prayers to those in Orlando that were killed in the night club shooting. God be with their family and friends as they grieve for the lose of their loved ones.<br />

I added a bit of sparkle with a clear sparkle overlay marker to the center of the flowers and the bee's wings. I used the octagon embossing folder from Stampin Up! and a bee and flower pp from my computer. The bee stickers I found in my stash. I popped them up with pop dots.<br />

Or get on a plane. The older I get the more likely I am to keep my feet on the ground. lol<br />
<br />
I used a swirl embossing folder from Hot of the Press and colored some of the swirls with Waterfall stickles.<br />
I colored the image with my copic markers and die cut the waves from hydrographic paper using a Sizzix die. The sentiment is from the<a href="http://fromtheheartstamps.com/shop/birdbrain-chick/204-inner-tube-birdbrain.html"> Inner Tube Bird Brain </a>Set, that I die cut using the Lively Framelits fromSizzix.<br />

My card today features a cute digital stamp from <a href="http://thepapershelter.blogspot.com.ar/">The Paper Shelter.</a> <a href="http://www.thepapershelter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=22">Funny Sunflower</a>. When you look at this image you think of spring!<br />
<br />
I love digital creations. I have so many files containing all sorts of images from backgrounds to stamps to elements. The program I use to put them all together is<a href="http://www.crafting.co.uk/index.php/shop-by-brand/mycraftstudio/elite.html"> My Craft Studio</a>. Its not available in the US or at least I dont know where to find it here. There are so many CD's with many different themes. Each cd comes with 2 programs to design your cards, scrapbook pages or whatever you like. I could go on and on about this program but if you want to check it out there are instructions on You Tube to help you out.<br />
<br />
I used the pre-colored image and used digital papers for the backgrounds. The butterfly was made with a five petal flower. One of the petals were turned under the flower to form the butterfly. The antenna are pearl flower stamens. I added tiny pearls to the wings and a larger pearl in the center. I added ladybug ribbon at the bottom with a rhinestone ribbon slide. I also added lace to the side of the image. I outlined the veins in the flowers and leaves with clear stickles. <br />

Today is International Jazz Day. I enjoy listening to jazz at times, not for long periods of time but a few songs are ok. Jazz originated in New Orleans LA. When I think of jazz that is where my mind wanders to. I have never been there, but from what I have seen on TV its a jumpin place!<br />
<br />
I can imagine the character in my card today heading to New Orleans as he is a wild and crazy guy! lol <a href="http://www.thepapershelter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_4&products_id=72">Cockatoo Rules</a> is the image I used from<a href="http://thepapershelter.blogspot.com.ar/"> The Paper Shelter</a>. I used to pre-colored image and used clear stickles on just the tip of his feathers. The backgound paper is from a web search for maps. The exhaust is an element from one of my digital sets. All of the papers are digital from my computer. I added black half pearls to the side of the card. The sentiment I created using My Craft Studio software. <br />

of May. Memorial Day is dedicated to service men and women who gave their
lives for freedom and country. It is also a time to remember loved ones who

and the end of the Civil War. I would like to thank these men and women for their unselfish dedication that has kept this country of our FREE!<br />
<br />
For my card today I used an image from<a href="http://fromtheheartstamps.com/shop/"> From The Heart Stamps</a>, <a href="http://fromtheheartstamps.com/shop/birdbrain-chick/268-bee-happy-birdbrain.html">Bee Happy Birdbrain</a>. I love Birdbrain, his eyes always express his feelings.<br />

The pink and white background paper is from my computer and I embossed a yellow piece of card stock with the honeycomb embossing folder from StampinUP! I also used a flower patterned paper from my computer and light blue ric rac to complete the card. <br />

Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Yum. I could celebrate this day EVERY day. Chocolate is just one of my weaknesses. I am a sweet freak. (self proclaimed) I find that as I have gotten older my taste for certain foods has changed, but sweets is not one of them. I have some chocolate chip cookies in the kitchen right now and plan on grabbing one or two, ok, or three when I get done posting. After all , I don't want it to be said that I didn't celebrate a National celebration day.<br />
<br />
Today I have 2 cards to enter into the<a href="http://fromtheheartstamps.com/community/"> From The Heart Challenges.</a> The first is for the <a href="http://fromtheheartstamps.com/community/2016/05/09/i-heart-sketches-with-a-twist-151/">weekly sketch #151</a>. The stamp set I chose was <a href="http://fromtheheartstamps.com/shop/from-the-garden/259-time-to-bloom.html">Time to Bloom</a>. This is a beautiful stamp set and can be used in so many different ways. The materials I used to create this card are: Time to Bloom Stamp set, White card stock from Recollections, yellow card stock from Stampin Up! yellow and orange ric rac.I used scrap paper for the bottom of the card and the top I embossed with Cuttlebug's Swiss Dots folder. I used pink glitter paper from DCWF to die cut the sentiment which is from Crafters Companion, Diamond Press collection. I used light orange chalk to highlight around the butterfly image. I colored the image with my gel pens. <br />
<br />

He is as happy as can be among this flowers! I die cut the card base from one of the Spellbinders label nestabilities. I colored the image with gel pens, some glitter and some not. I added pink and purple sequins randomly to the card and added the green bow at the top.<br />

<br />
I would like to enter the following card into the<a href="http://butterflyspotchallenge.blogspot.si/"> Butterfly Challenge #54</a>. This weeks color is the letter R. The color is Red and the theme is Recycle. For my card I used white card stock from Recollections. I die cut the border with Die'Sire Edgeables Butterfly Dreams from Crafters Companion and used red chalk to stencil onto the butterflies. The flowers are die cut from a soda can.(recycle).Pearls were placed in the center of each flower. The pink butterfly was created by using a 5 pedal mulberry flower in which one petal was folded to the back to form the butterfly. I applied Frosted Lace stickles to the wings and attached 4 small pearls to each wing. The antenna are made using a pearl stamen for flowers. I added a pearl flower to the center of the butterfly. The leaves are die cut from scrap paper. I placed a pink insert inside the card so it would show through the butterfly die border. I also added randomly place pink sequins to the front of the card. The sentiment was die cut from red glitter paper from Die Cuts With A View. <br />

It always brought a smile to those who watched and great laughter from those who actually had the nerve to get out on the dance floor and to this dance! As I write this I am hearing the music in my head and remembering the fun I had "shaking my tail feather" lol.

It's a beautiful day here in the Shannandoah Valley. The sun is shining! It has rained just about every day for a week here.<br />

Today is International Nurse's Day. I would like to thank all the nurses for the wonderful work you do. I don't know what we would do without your care and attention you give to us in our time of need.!<br />
<br />
The card I have made today is for the guys. Fathers' Day is next month, so its time to make some cards for all the great dads out there.<br />
<br />
I used printed and cut out one of the colored images from <a href="http://doodlepantry.com/shop.html?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_images.tpl&product_id=648&category_id=31">Hot Rod Pickup</a> from<a href="http://doodlepantry.com/"> Doddle Pantry</a>. The background is an embossing folder from Hot off The Press. I inked the embossed part with black ink.<br />
The banner is die cut from scrap paper. I added the purple foiled half pearls to the bottom of the card. The sentiment is also from the Hot Rod Pickup set . I used Spellbinders Nestabilities Classic Rectangles to frame it. <br />

There are 2 ways you can enter. Using the T for texture or T for teal and of course using butterflies in your project You may use both if you like for an additional chance to win other prizes. . I love butterflies. I think they are one of natures most beautiful creations. For this challenge I used butterflies plus texture. The butterflies at the top of the card were made using the Die'Sire butterfly Edge'ables die from Crafters Companion. I added small pearls to the center of each one. I used peel off stickers from Hot off the Press for the sentiment, frame and swirl accent and butterflies at the top. The flowers (texture) are ones I had in my supplies. <br />

For the border of this card I used elements from Doddle Panty's Carousel Accents and added Dazzle jewels to the center of each accent. The sentiment is also from the Seahorse Habitat set. <br />

I dont know why I am put things off until the last minute. I feel so much better when I get them done ahead of time.<br />
<br />
For this weeks<a href="http://fromtheheartstamps.com/community/2016/04/18/i-heart-sketches-with-a-twist-148/"> From The Heart sketch challenge</a> I chose the <a href="http://fromtheheartstamps.com/shop/birthday/217-wind-blown-penguin.html">Wind Blown Penguin</a>. He looks so happy with his balloons floating on the ice. The stripes for the background I used Stampin Up double sided paper. There are 4 colors in the paper, so I decided to use the same colors to color the image with my Sharpie Extra Fine Markers.<br />
