Good morning ladies!!
It’s an absolutely gorgeous day today here.. sun is shining.. fluffy white clouds in the bright blue sky, and kids are all in good moods so far! LOL! Gotta love that..
I’m going to make my blog post here for you, then head out for a few hours with the girls! Too nice of a day to be sitting in here doing housework… haha!!
First i’m going to start with my Paper Crafts Gallery Idol Top 10 card!! I really wanted to do something different than my ultra feminine baby card from the last round, so decided to go with *scrumptious* Chatterbox paper, and make a card in the shape of a flower! This weeks theme was to use a quote… I found this quote on the net and fell in love with it… I think it’s absolutely true!!
“Where flowers bloom, so does hope.” Lady Bird Johnson.

PC Gallery Idol Top 10 Card!!
Here is a link if you think my card is worthy of your vote!

It is listed under Moralia: Flowers Bloom! Follow this link to cast your vote… Thanks ***SOOOO VERY MUCH*** for your votes!!!!
And here is a link to the Top 10 cards! Wowsers!!! GORGEOUS work done by all!
Thank-you all *SO* very much for your friendship, support, votes, and special emails, etc during this contest!!! They all mean the world to me to know I have such fabulous friends standing by my side and cheering me on!!!

((((hugs))))
I’m going to be on pins & needles all week until Friday afternoon when we hear, so feel free to keep me company this week!!! LOL!!!
*****
Now I have my very 1st 2S4Y as a bonified 2S4Y DT member!! *WOOT*!! lol!!! Laura and Kazan are absolutely *WONDERFUL* to work with, and have made us all feel so welcome and valued! I may adopt them as my own..

LOL!!

And finally I have a small *TOOT* to share with you again! Hope you don’t mind… *blush* I was contacted today by Scrapbook & Cards Today asking me if they could showcase my “Laugh” card I created for the 2 Sketches 4 You DT call card on their blog during the week of August 12th!!

Made my day!
Well that’s it for today… i’m off to enjoy the day! Hope you all enjoy yours too!!!

Good luck, girl. I’ll keep my fingers crossed. And the card for 2S4Y looks great too. Love the papers and colors that you used.
