Hello friend.

Stopping in with a shabby chic card for ya! Here is a fun card I made with some beautiful Farmhouse papers by October Afternoon. Love these papers! That beautiful silhouette image is from The Graphics Fairy.

I also used some vintage trim, lace, buttons, mini roses, wooden spool, glitter, thread and a Jenni Bowlin stick pin. All on a kraft cardstock base.

I used the fabulous sketch over at Totally Papercrafts for this card.

And I was also inspire to make this by this week's City Crafter Challenge, Back to Black. It is to use a black silhouette image on your card.

And also this week's challenge at The Kraft Journal is to use your favorite colors. Love kraft, cream, pink and blue together!

Thank you so much for stopping by! I really appreciate all your sweet comments! Don't forgot to check back in on the 18th! It's my 40th Birthday! And I'll be celebrating it all with you with another BIG giveaway!

Bye for now friend!

♥ A Friend...Hears our Heart ♥

This week's challenge at The Shabby Tea Room is called "Flower Power". The challenge is to use the inspiration photo's colors (see below) and you must also have a flower somewhere on your creation.

This week our lovely sponsor is Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps and the DT got to play with their fabulous designs, including a gorgeous digi paper pack called Love Blooms. I must admit, I have never been a fan of silhouettes. At least, until now! This gorgeous silhouette is called Summer Party and it's from their Hat Silhouette Series II. They are all gorgeous!! You must check them out HERE! I want them all! ;)

I also used a BFF Roundie Word Art stamp from Stitchy Bear as well. Lastly, I finished it off with some seam binding ribbon, MS mini roses and punched hearts, heart trim, string pearls and Liquid Pearls. (Sorry for the blurry pic, my camera is on it's way out!!)

The winner of this week's challenge will win a $10 Gift Certificate to Stitchy Bear Stamps.
