April Showers Bring May Flowers

Hello all my friends,

We have been getting lots of rain here in Dallas, Texas and the flowers, bluebonnets and grass has been going crazy.  When it's not raining, the tempetures have been very nice.  So this card I created in dedication to our lovely weather and for the Our Daily Bread Designs Challenge #ODBDSLC235 this week.

This week the Challenge #ODBDSLC235 is an inspiration board.
Picture
For this card I decided to use some of my Anna Griffin products which I purchased from HSN.   The umbrella is from her "All About Her" , 396 die cuts.  The blue floral card stock is from her "Lovely Layers", 114 5x7 cardstock sheets.

Picture
The flowers are by Spare Parts, which I purchased from Hobby Lobby.  The birds nest is a stamp from 3 Birds Studio, which I stamped with Vintage Photo by Tim Holtz onto white cardstock and fussy cut it out.  Then I glued small cuttings of brown twill threads for a dimensional look.  I used pink & white stamens for the little birds eggs.
Picture
For the leaf swirls I used spellbinders Foliage Flourish die using matching green cardstock.  The clouds, rain drop hearts and butterfly, I purchased from the dollar store.  Cool huh?  The sentiment I typed up on my computer and cut it out banner style in white card stock, using pink ink from Hampton Art and sponged around the edges.
Picture
Well, I hope you enjoyed my creation this week and be sure to take a look at the Our Daily Bread blog for more inspiration:  www.ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com

Blessings and Hugs,
Diane

    Hi.  I am a blessed wife and mother of a wonderful 6 yr old little boy.  I have always had some type crafting in my life.  At a young age my mother taught me how to sew on our family pool table, which I thought was so cool.  Then as teen a family friend taught me cross stitching and I did that up until I saw an Anna Griffin Christmas card making kit on HSN for sale.  I bought it and haven't looked back.  I love it.  I'm addicted.  Anyways, I hope you enjoy my site and I hope you are inspired to create something beautiful.  I am looking forward to hearing your comments and hope you come back frequently to see what I have for you.  Blessings and Peace to you.  Diane
