Garden's Fair ...

And Spring arose on the garden fair,

Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;

And each flower and herb on Earth’s dark breast

rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.

~Percy Bysshe Shelley, "The Sensitive Plant"

The one that got away? ...

Fishing is the sport of drowning worms.  ~Author Unknown

Good morning Everyone!

Today is the start of a new color challenge for The Outlawz Challenges.

Our sponsor this month is Bugaboo Stamps

Our Inspiration

This week our challenge to use at least 3 colors from the Olympic Flag with a sports twist of we want to use it.

Fishing is considered a sport by some ... personally, I think for most of those who partake it's an excuse to hang out on a boat or lake shore and forget the world around them.

  

The border punch I used create a flower but when using just one side, it made me think of splashing water. The fish is fussy cut and attached with a foam dot.

This card is 5.50 x 4.25

Thoughts & Prayers ...

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.  ~Kahlil Gibran

Good morning Everyone!

Today is the start of a new color challenge for The Outlawz Challenges.

I found a tutorial on Pinterest on how to do one of the popular "drape" folds. I thought I saved the link but apparently not so I need to go a hunting so I can link back.

Our sponsor this month is Bugaboo Stamps and I am using this image "Our Thoughts & Prayers Candle"

Like most of us, I am not fond of making sympathy cards, but they are a reality of life. I can not justify gifting someone with cards made from the heart only to hand them a store bought one during a painful time in their life. So I try to make these to have on hand for just those occasions.

Here is our inspiration picture.

Our challenge this week is to use pink, blue and gray with a fancy fold twist if we want.

SUPPLIES
