Quote For the Day
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming, "Wow, what a ride!!!"

Flower Photo
There is no one like you
This card was inspired by Nicole at Papertrey Inc. Her blog is fabulous and I encourage you to visit it often. I am also in love with Papertrey stamps. Her blog can be viewed at http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/
My card is with a different stamp set and I added a button and gem in the middle of the flower, as well as stamped on the ribbon and created a scallop edge along the bottom.

This is not the best photo, and if I made this again I would use a smaller button in the center of the flower.
My sister is here visiting, and its her job to crochet me a zillion flowers. I tried - its hopeless.
