heartfelt thanks...


TGIF!!!!

I'm always thrilled when it is Friday!!  

I have a ton of crafting to do since I'm going to try to take a bloggie break next week but will be posting my Design Team projects:)

Pssst....it might just be a week filled with some 
b l o g  c a n d y

Here's today's card:


 I used one of my FAV Jane's Doodles sets:



I teamed it up with



This one is chock full of FAB sentiments, dontcha think?

I was totally inspired by the latest



I almost cased Therese's card to a tee {or is that 'T'?}...I trimmed my base down to 3.5 inches tall to really capture the Peony bloom.  That particular panel is the palest yellow textured cardstock from my Studio Calico May 2012/35mm kit.

Here's to a fun-filled weekend:)

Oh Amy I love this card. The flower the font on the sentiment. Have fun on your bloggie break. Hope you are doing something fun too.

Peony??? Did someone say peony?? "The peony roots that Samuel Wade brought with him to Colorado in 1881 inspired him to submit the Latin name for peony, 'Paeonia' as a town name. The post office wouldn't allow the extra vowel, so Paeonia became Paonia. The full name of the flower is Paeonia mascula.
