FLOWER POT POCKET CARD

Good morning fellow bloggers, I am so glad to back with another post. This time it is a card that was made for my DT duties at Stampin Dymonz Scrap Shack. I am the moderator of the Card Making Group and each week we take on a new style card. This week it is the Flower Pot Pocket Card. I have to say that once again when I looked at the directions for this card, I thought it was really going to be a little difficult. It wasn't. It was really easy and all of the papers used are from my scrap file.

Before I show my card, I would like to invite you all to stop by the Scrap Shack and take a look around. There is so much going on and I have to say that since joining the team I have tried so many projects that I had never done before. I have learned a lot of new techniques. I have definitely made more styles of cards than I had ever thought to make. This is a group that takes you out of your comfort zone and makes you want to get even further out of it. Its fun and there are a lot of talented ladies involved. And they are always willing to share their knowledge of crafting.

OK enough chatting, here is my card:



Alright, what do you think? Isn't this just the cutest thing? I really do love how it turned out. As I said, all of the papers are from my scrap file. I used the Peony Spellbinders to cut the flowers and then the smallest circle nestie to cut the center out and flipped it to show the color on the backside. The ribbon, button and bling  is from my stash. The sentiment "Do what you Love, Love what you do" is a $1 stamp from Michael's. The chipboard tag is from my stash (something that my sister bought for me a couple of years ago). I stamped Laugh on it and that stamp is from a set that I bought at Hobby Lobby  last year. The leaves are from a set of mulberry leaves that I bought at Michael's. I cut them to change the shape. Well, I gues that is it for the card. Now I do have a few challenges that I would love to enter it into.

I will be going on vacation in a couple of weeks to Vegas... and when I return, I will be having blog candy. I have redone my office/crafting space and find that I have some things that I need to share with others. So stay tuned. It should be a fun time.
