LOVE...

 
 
Hi Friends!
 
 
How's your weekend going?  Mine is going well
so far.  And, I can't complain about the weather
for today it's supposed to reach 60.  That is very
unusual for NW Ohio in January...wow!  But,
it doesn't hurt my feelings one bit...lol!  I wanted
to get this posted before meeting up with some
friends for lunch.  I don't see them every week
like I used to because I had to quit bowling due
to my back.  Maybe one day I'll return to
bowling only time will tell. 
 
Anyways, I'm here to tell you about my card.
I entered this card over at The Shabby Tea Room.
This week we were to follow the colors in the photo
and include ribbon/bow and a flower.
 
Here is the lovely elegant photo inspiration...

 
 
Isn't it a beauty?!  That is one gorgeous display of
gifts!  I've never wrapped a gift with such elegance,
but it certainly gives me inspiration to do so!  My
card is really self-explanatory.  I used a fancy
square die behind the dimensional flower with pearls
I added flowers, ribbon, bow, and a lovely button
from Webster's.  Ok, friends, that's it for now. 
Take care and have a great weekend, hugs!
