hello there♥

Blogging live again.

It's rainy and windy here in the Pacific Northwest...all you lucky gals that are at CHA get to miss the ickiness.

It is funny when you start a project and what you end up with isn't anything you originally envisioned.

Meet today's card:

I have about 2 handfuls of really pretty Prima blooms.  I don't generally use them, THIS is my last project using one from my stash.  I definitely gravitate to the felt blooms.

I was inspired by

Mama Elephant

I used the Mama Elephant Good Times set.

Seriously, everyone on the design team had me thoroughly inspired...and ready to buy THIS & THIS.

The patterned paper is from the January Artful Delight Card kit.  Aha, do you spy my new goodie?  I received my Reverse Confetti order yesterday so I put my Double Edge Scallop border to work!  The sentiment flag is from the RC Tag me set.

So, originally I wasn't even thinking of a bloom in my design...but pinterest changed my mind.  Whenever I get an email that someone has pinned something of mine or started to follow me, I always love to see their boards.  There are a ton of marketers out there, eh?  I don't want to follow people that sell sunglasses or purses...long story short, I pinned THIS from another pinner and it was my inspiration....let's face it, Keisha rocks. 

Sorry, this is becoming a long post and it is almost time for my third cup of coffee!  Yesterday, I finally dropped off the 3 boxes of crafty supplies to the Seattle Children's Hospital.   Total win/win situation, eh?  It's a great reminder of how grateful I am to have my healthy children. 

Some of you may have seen this on FB last night.  I had dinner HERE with the girl and boy last night.

I love my kidlets so very much!
