I'm so glad I'm not a boy....I'm certain if I had been born a boy that I'd still love pink...I'd wear pink, be fascinated with glitter and all things sparkly, and need to finish off all of my homework assignments and science projects with buttons, bows, and flowers. Really...what's the harm? I am wholeheartedly drawn to this color, but this color is nothing without cream alongside for the ride...sigh...delicious.
True to form...a project with my favorite colors here for you today. I created this for the Emma's Paperie blog this week....instructions and supplies listed HERE. I was very much inspired by my mom for this sweet little duo...her birthday was yesterday and there truly isn't a more gentle, special soul on this earth than my mom....she is beautiful inside and out and I am so lucky to be hers. Happy, happy birthday mama dear.
And....I had a minute to play last night and was able to get my card done for our Grasshopper Pie and Pink photo challenge....this was SUCH a fun picture to be inspired by...thank you Leslie!
Once again, here is our photo...

For this card I used vellum from Papertrey Ink as my card base along with the With Sympathy and Paper Tray stamp sets, Sweet Blush and True Black ink, paper, stickers and doily from Little Yellow Bicycle, flower from K&Co. and label from Jenni Bowlin.
I've been able to visit a few of your blogs and have enjoyed your beautiful creations...I'll be back around to visit more later. Thank you so much for playing along. Come back tomorrow for our next photo challenge.
Happy Tuesday.

P.S. Here is a sampling of the huge bunch of my own tea-stained twill tape that I just mailed off to Frost it Pink...it will be available for you to purchase there very soon :)
Love your twill tape and I adore those cards; I think they are oh so beautiful. You are amazing!
