For my project I have used Lily Snow White displayed on a Double Z Fold Tutorial from Beccy's Place: A-Z folds.  Such a great resource for card making.  So here is what I came up with.

The envelope

What do we have here?

The front of the card.

It can open up like a regular card OR...

A Double Z Fold card

I decorated the back so I could write a message.

That is it for this fortnight.  I hope you and yours have a very nice Memorial Day Weekend.  Please remember the reason for this holiday.  In my family we visit the graves of family members and service men we have lost to war.  See you again in 2 weeks!

Challenge #191 May Flowers!

I have to say I am very partial to the month of May.  I love Mothers Day and Memorial day.  But what I love even more is being with family and friends to celebrate my birthday.  This is the big 60!
I think I will always be the gal who acts like an 80's young adult.  Give me disco and platform shoes and I am a happy camper.  Enough Reminiscing!  On to the Challenge.

This month we have The Paper Shelter as our fabulous sponsor.  Ok kids, please go show some love.

Prize~3 Digital Stamps

I knew when I was given this image that I needed a project that would not take a lot of time but also follow the theme May flowers.  Here is a link to my image called The Lady.  If you take a peek, you can see that all that is needed is to print out all the images and put those on card stock.  In minutes you have a fabulous card to brighten someones day!

So here are a few images to show you my creation:

Here she is, The Lady!  The card says, Frankly my dear,

I wish you a very happy birthday!

I have 5 BFF's birthdays in May.  So with The Lady I knocked out 3 of the 5 cards.
If you look closely, The Lady has moved position on each of the cards.

I had a die that says Celebrate!  Perfect for the back of the card!

That is it for this challenge.  I do hope that you can join in on the fun!  I would love to see your creations!  

Happy Mothers Day Everyone!  Bright Blessings,
