Hello and a Happy Saturday to you! I hope that you are having a great weekend so far! Last Saturday I shared about how I woke up to find my daughter cutting up my cardstock and wanting to keep it all, well yesterday I woke up to her quite upset she had accidentally pulled down my standing drawer bin that's full of my crafty items! A lot of my papers and random crafty items were all over the floor! She was scared that I was upset but really I don't want her to get hurt! She was in the drawers digging and later asking me if she could have this? She is going through my stash my friends! Luckily I do have a lot of things that I don't use anymore.
I am here a bit late with my Wee Memories Scrappy Saturday post. We had a garage sale today and we have been so busy getting ready for it. I am so glad that it's over! We did better than we thought so that is really nice! This week our sponsor is May Arts! I love May Arts ribbon as I am sure many of you do too! >
Our challenge this week is Etsy or Pinterest Inspired! I don't have a Pinterest account but I went to look on there and found an inspirational photo. I've really been feeling at a loss for crafting lately and my mojo just hasn't been there. But when I found this photo that I really liked it all just came together. I was inspired, I wanted to create and my idea came so quick! Here is what got me back:
I love the colors, I love the cleanness and I was inspired to make this:
I used all the colors but left out the beige! I stamped the stem and the flower with pigment inks and than clear embossed them and put a doily behind it. Added some green ruffled ribbon as "grass" it was harder to ruffle it with a thinner ribbon I found! After no mojo lately I am really pleased with this card. And now understanding why everyone loves Pinterst so much!

Glad this photo inspired you Anita... because this is a superb card. Your "grass" is stunning.. I don't know how you have the patience to ruffle your ribbon like that...
This is beautiful Anita! This is such a cheerful card! I LOVE your ruffled ribbon that you used for the grass!
Very sweet! Love the colors you've captured from the photo inspiration, so beautiful!! I've heard of Pinterest but I think I'm purposely avoiding it, or else I will be online way too much...what am I saying, I'm already on line way too much! ;)
