So this weekend is filled with another round of non-stop soccer but at least I got to make a card for it :) My husband asked me if I would make a card for the "team mom" as he and the other coach wanted to give her a little something for helping them stay organized all season. It was just going to be from the coaches so he said I could make whatever I wanted-I was the "expert",HAHA :) So with that sort of pressure I decided I would need a little inspiration and what better place to find it then from a few great challenge blogs. I ended using the perfect sketch over at Try Stampin' On Tuesday and some great Springy inspiration from Hand Stamped Sentiments.
For the card I pulled out a stamp set and Designer Series paper that have, well for lack of a better word, been neglected. I have barely used the the Friends Never Fade stamp set and Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper since I bought them last year, but today I was inspired to do so. I love the bright cheery colour combo of Wild Wasabi, Peach Parfait, and Daffodil Delight. I also used the new Sneak Peek set Four Frames that will be available to purchase next month before it goes live in the new Catalogue come July 1st. (trust me this set is a must have and coordinates perfectly with the Decorative Label Punch.)
The words from Fabulous Phrases work so perfectly inside the frame. I also created a big bow with my favourite Wide Striped Ribbon in Certainly Celery and finished the card of with a strip of scallops and some pearls.
Have a great weekend,
Love the colors of your card! Really says Spring. Thanks for joining us this week. Hope you will play with us again!

This is such an awesome card for spring! Love the bright colors and the floral patterns. I seem to neglect that DSP myself, but you inspired me to dust it off! Your big ol' bow is the perfect accent, too! Thanks for joining us at Hand Stamped Sentiments this week! :)

Beatiful cheery card! Your bow is tied perfect! Those basic perals look fantastic down the scallop edge! Glad you found the time to play along with us at Try Stampin On Tuesday;-)!xx

WOW! I love your card and how you used the Greenhuse Gala DSP -- Thank you! I have it and now I can use it rather than stack it up like the other DSP. I like how you incorporated the ribbon -- Great Idea! Thank you so much for participating in the Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge. Please come back and participate.
