Stella Love...

He is happiest who hath power to gather wisdom from a flower. -Mary Howitt I am SO in love with the newest Wild Sprouts from The Greeting Farm, Amy really did an amazing job on these girls!! I grabbed Stella for this card, colored her to match this week's Cupcake Inspiration Challenge (I colored her on Saturday...why did it take me a week to make this card????) I decided I Had to use the My Mind's Eye Be*Loved papers for my card...why? Because I LOVE them, that is why! :)

I used the Journaling Card and heart die cut from the die cut sheet that comes in the paper pack, this week's Bloggers Challenge is "Die Cuts and Punches" so maybe it is a good thing it took so long to post this?? :) I popped Stella up on Pop Up Glue Dots, added some stickles accents on her envelope, her eyeshadow and on the heart and flowers. The ribbon is a very light yellow, I wanted to draw in a bit of the yellow from the cupcakes. I added a Vintage Button, a glazed brad and just for kicks, 3 Pearls in the corner (I know Karen, I know!! LOL) For more flower fun and to pull in more of the Cupcake Look I used a piece of card stock embossed with the Flower Dots CB Folder, I think this card qualifies for the Anya Ink challenge with all those flowers! :)

Here is a peek at the inside, I used the new Talk Loud set for the sentiment...just love the fun font on these!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

If you are still reading this, I am Desperately in need of a new camera AGAIN, because the one I bought last time can't seem to stay on for more than one or two pictures, not sure how it can suck brand new camera batteries dry like that, but anyway...I need to buy a Digital Camera for around $100, anyone have one they LOVE????

  7. Adorable! I love what you did with the journal die cut! What a great idea!
    As for your camera...my SIL has a decent less expensive Canon. You have to press a button to charge the flash...but she's happy with it. It even survived her "dog" eating it...if that is what really happened! LOL!
