Happy Anniversary!

Time for another beautiful challenge at The Shabby Tea Room!
Here is the inspiration photo we were to follow...
And a close up view...

Hi there!

How's it going for ya?  Just another cloudy rainy day here in NW Ohio.  I had to chuckle when at work yesterday people are in complaining of their aches and pains.  And, they were saying I don't know why I'm having extra aches and pains.  So, I replied, we'll just have to blame it on the weather!:-)  Anyway, if you're in one of those sun shiny states, please send the sun this way!  We really do miss it!

Ok, on to my card now.  I stayed up late last night working on this card.  But, it went together fairly quickly.  I love working with cream, pink, and white, so this was right up my alley.  I used a new Martha Stewart punch.  Just love those tiny little butterflies!  I had fun adding the gems.  I'm thinking I should buy stock in those gems!:-)  Added ribbon, button, twine, and sewing to finish off my card.  I thank you for stopping by today!  Take care and enjoy your day, hugs!!:-))

  1. Filled to the brim with a feminine and elegant look. I love how you layered the center piece; you really have outdone yourself. Wow!
    We have chilly days too and there is some frost coming this way. I am looking forward to spring too :)
    Have a lovely day!

  5. Maria, this is absolutely beautiful. I love the colors and your bling looks super. You couldn't have used a prettier doily.

    We sure have had lot of rain here so I can't send any sunshine. Although, I think we may have some this weekend. But, I'm keeping it. LOL
