Sorry for the sporadic posting. Life has been crazy busy this week and won't be slowing down for a few more weeks. With the Spring Carnival coming up next Friday we are busy mommies at the school. It is a big fund raiser and always a load of fun, but needs a lot of prep work up front. Add that to having to bake some cakes for the cake walk, being team manager for my son's spring soccer team (always lots of e-mailing to be done at the beginning to get things organized), encouraging and making sure my daughter is practicing hard as she works toward her Grade 1 piano exam in June, helping hubby cook for the youth group's overnight at the church at the end of April, along with all the normal things we are involved in makes for a crazy schedule right now! Phew! Makes me tired just typing about it LOL!
Sorry, I regressed....on to the card! After recently seeing some lovely cards on SCS using the Stampin' Up! Top Note Die, I decided to play with my Label 8 Nesties, and this is what I came up with. It's a pretty simple card, but I quite like it. The only stamping is the sentiment, and I ran the flower centers through my Swiss Dots embossing folder for a bit of texture.
Thanks for dropping by!
What's In It?

Paper: Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery
Accessories: Label 8 Nesties, SU Five Petal Flower Punch, Martha Stewart Leaf Punch, 1/2 Circle Punch, Swiss Dots Embossing Folder, 5/8" Pink Satin Ribbon, Dimensionals

I hear ya, busy mommy!! I've been finding it difficult to find the time to be creative - but we must make time for ourselves too :)
So fresh and pretty! I like these colors and you used them a lot together. Cake walks were fun as a kid, but as a parent I cringe at the kids winning 3 cakes and bringing them home. LOL
