Roses are Red...

Hi all and welcome to day 2 of Flourishes’ January Sneak Peeks featuring three of our newest sets! Today's sneak is all about love and a cute little poem we all seemed to learn when we were kids! Only now, it's paired with a few beautiful botanicals that are just screaming to be colored up! Are you ready?

I decided to fancy up the inside adding the sentiment inside on the pretty Spellbinders heart dies.

Roses are Red by Marcella Hawley puts a new spin on that old, sweet poem! Roses are Red, Violets are Blue --- you finish the phrase with these mix and match sentiments! This set offers a bunch of roses and violets and a single flower bunch that is perfect to send to your sweetie. Use this set for Valentine's Day or any time you want to serve up some love in the form of a card! Set measures 4" by 6". Would you like to win it? Well, why don't you play our little blog comment game......

We don’t know which one of these ladies below will be the Mystery Blogger but one will, so leave comments on all of our designers’ blogs and you’ll be in the running to win today’s Roses Are Red set! Want to see all the fun things you can do with this little number? Head on over and see…..

Happy Birthday

Did you have a good weekend? We went to visit my in laws so my son could get his Christmas and Birthday presents. I am now the parent of a TEENAGER! Oh my word! When did that happen? I am shocked at how fast time flies by, and I try not to take anything for granted.

I made this cutie PI mouse for my BFF"s birthday which is coming up soon. She adores the PI images and always stakes her claim on my cards after they are made. Hopefully she won't see this one before she gets it.

After looking at this in the photo, I am second guessing my decision to use the yellow paper. It looked cute until I see it on my blog. Hate it when that happens.

I am entering this into the MFT guest designer contest.
