What Did I Create This Week?
One of my favorite ways to show someone that I’m thinking of them and to express how much I care is to say it with flowers. I love sending beautiful bouquets of blooming flowers – but to make sure the memories last, I love to accompany my wishes with a heartfelt note in a card. What better way to make an occasion memorable than to sprinkle lots of pretty flowers across a hidden note within your card? 
Today’s card features an envelope designed as part of the cover – along with a fun pull-out tab where you can jot a special message or stash a special surprise for the recipient! The pretty pastels make this card perfect for a young girl or a special friend! The beauty of this design is that it is versatile and adaptable to any occasion! I created the project using random scraps and supplies from various companies – including Creating Keepsakes and La Petites. What have your recently created based on the goodies you’ve found in your scrap room? 
We’d love to see your creations at:
- Inspire Me Monday – we may even feature your artwork!
- Friendship Friday – you may even be our next Friend Of The Week!
For more inspiration, check out the Creative Art Challenges at the end of this post!
