Has been a hectic 2 weeks, mostly medical trips for & with my mother, who had 2 mild strokes. Quite a stressful thing. Not much time for blogging or card making. Hope to be back with it this week.  We havd had really dreary weather, so rainy, windy and cold.  I don't do well with dreary for too long.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the weekend. Hoping for "SUNSHINE & LOLLIPOPS"

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge #28  is  SHAPES    http://pennyschallenges.blogspot.com/

My mother always likes Small Cards so this was a little challenge in itself

Most of the Papers were from Debbie Mumm's Collection, I used my Big Shot with the Spellbinders Scalloped Circles, A Border Punch which I cut in 2 parts, Sentiment from Stampin Up, Bow,Flower,Pearls from my box of Things Saved

Hope you like it. It is very danity and feminine I think.

Please stop by all the BlogSpots, as they truly do have great Inspiration by their Design Teams.

Most are offering some sort of a prize to keep you busy with new ideas.

May you enjoy the weekend with Sunshine and Laughter.
