Birthday Wishes


How are you on this lovely Thursday evening?  I got off work
early today, which doesn't happen too often, but I didn't ask twice about it!:-)  It gave me the chance to get to my craft room and play with one of my favorite challenges, The Shabby Tea Room!  Please take a look over there and see what beautiful cards are displayed by the design team and challenge players!  The theme this week is "Pretty as a Picture."  We were to follow the inspiration photo colors and include a rose.

Here is the inspiration photo...




A closer look of my card...

care and have a wonderful Mother's Day!!:-))
