     Thank you so much for hopping with us!!!!  Good luck & HAVE FUN!!!!

     Here's the photo that inspired my first card:

and here's my first card: 

                     
     Image from Floppy Latte.  I loved the pink background and the flower in the inspiration photo, and knew I wanted to do something with pearls.  I liked the lace but didn't want to actually use lace, so I used a lacy-looking die cut instead, and added tiny pearls to it.  I'm very pleased with the outcome.

I'm going to enter this first card into these challenges:

Colour Me Creative -- Bright colors
Inky Impressions -- Bright Colors
Robyn's Fetish -- Pretty in Pink
Saturday Secret Crafter -- bingo: ribbon, bow, leaves

Scrappy Frogs -- Die Cuts

Sir Stampalot -- In the Garden

     My second card was inspired by this photo:

     No other explanation is really needed, is it?  Image by Unique Digis.  Background dp is embossed and glittery, and my card was made entirely from scraps that were cluttering up my table.  Colored with Touch Twin markers.

     This second card will go to these challenges:
Cupcake Craftroom -- New beginnings (spring and Easter - what could be better?)
Desert Islands Crafters -- 3 from the list: bling, twine, & 2 or ore die cuts
Make It Colorful -- Spring colors
Send a Smile 4 Kids -- Easter/Spring for a kid
Whimsie Doodles -- Oh, Scrap!


     Now it's time to send you on to Choccy's blog to see the wonderful projects she created.  Be sure to leave a comment before you go so you can be in the running for prizes!

    Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie
