What darling things on this board! Makes me want to redo everything in my house. This is what I chose: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/45599014951859810/
I also included yesterday's FFA, to use stash. The green paper with the pre-embossed circles, the paper flowers (we all have a gazillion of those) and the glitter brads fit this challenge. Had this stuff for ages and ages. I'm so giddy thinking about all the extra points I get for all this stash. Yesterday's MIX was to use glue on our project. I didn't want to do the obvious, which would be to squiggle some on cardstock and then add paint or whatever. I made the flower stems out of glue, just drew them on right from the nozzle of the glue bottle. My hope was that they would be rather glossy when dry, oh no, it all soaked in because the paper is fibrous (Jean, you idiot). Oh well, I decided to make them stand out a bit more by outlining them with the gel pen and sponged a bit of gesso . The stems really are quite dark irl. Oh and then Monday's CAS was May flowers. I actually like this whimsical little (big) card, I will keep experimenting with the glue drawing.

This card is fabulous! Love the colors of those flowers, and the great BG, and those glue stems. I could not figure out how to do that glue challenge so that I was happy with it - your solution is clever!

This card makes me smile and I love everything about it. I love your style. If you gave me these same elements, I think the card would be totally different. I love how you put it together.
