This is my card for today's limited supply challenge, Message Bouquet. This is my story.
1. I bought a couple of those fun little M & M $1.00 tins at Michaels and at the same time saw some M & M party invitations. I bought some thinking they would make good background paper on a card someday. This is that day! LOL!
2. I hope you can see the Ghost Flowers because they are the most important part of this challenge, the flower part.
3. When my husband was taking the picture, I said..Oh Wait! I want to put this little M & M tin in the picture as a prop! I ran around the corner into my stamp room and....
4. This is where I tell you about my ice skating adventure this morning in the middle of summer, 90 degree weather during the day!
5. I had been looking through a bunch of SU/CTMH catalogs and had them scattered all over the floor. When I rounded the corner and hit those catalogs, I literally skated half way accross the room! Yikes, those things were slick!
6. I didn't do any tricks, no double toe, turn pike, toe pick, triple klutz, spinning thingamajiggys, just plain old accross the floor skating. I did however do something really cool with my arms! (A skater I am not!)
7. After I uploaded my picture and chose one with out the M & M tin in it, I was thinking....I nearly killed myself this morning and didn't even use the stinkin' picture!

What a fun card, I love the ghost flowers. Sorry about your skating spree, glad you weren't hurt in the making of the photo staging. I am with you on the klutz talent, no triple lutz's for me just triple klutz's. Ya know, if you would just figure out how to use that darned camera you wouldn't need to rely on the hubby!

I love the bright colors and you nailed the message on the flowers...M & M's are mmmmm good! At least the dark chocolate ones are. I think I'll pass on your technique of 'skating' while collecting props. If you had M & M's in the house you could have piled them at the base of the card. I'll bet you ate all of them while making the card!!! I would have!
Anywho.....great card!!!!

Love this bright and cheery card. Cute cb stems on your flowers and I do see the ghost flowers as well. Remember that stamp that tells the cost of making a card? Well, I think after today they will have to add chiropractor visit on it as well. I sure hope you are too sore to enjoy your weekend. You really are going to have to quit exercising like that so early in the morning.
