HOORAY ... it's FRIDAY!!
Do you have exciting plans for the weekend??

We are going to our daughter's Saturday evening for dinner and celebrate granddaughter, Morgan's 19th Birthday!  Wow ... how'd  she get that old already??  Just proves how fast time is flying!  Enjoy those little ones everybody ... they grow so FAST!!  

For the card challenge at Joan's Gardens this week, she is asking us to create using the following . . .

• Window Top Card ( an opening in the top of the card with the design on the inside)
• Add three colors of flowers for the focal point.  
• A Birthday card
 
Here's what I came up with . . .

I just received my order from Joan's Gardens yesterday and couldn't wait to create using the pinkpaislee 'Butterfly Garden' 6x6 designer paper.

Accessories:  Tool Kit to make flowers, 'Iridescent' Memories Mist, Sakaras punches, Kaiser pearls, Sizzix leaf die, Martha Stewart lacy butterfly punch, Spellbinder 'Beaded Circle' Nestabilities die, White organza ribbon from Michaels
