Purple Petalicious!

I just love every opportunity to say Hi to all my friends and family!  This is my third hello this week as a matter of fact!  My moms Birthday was yesterday and I only got to call her being that she is in Florida and all.  I really miss going out with her for her birthday.  She spent her birthday with Dad and my brother Brian's family this year and reports that the cake was good and so was the class ornament flower they gave her!  The really good news is that she got her card and loved it.  Thank goodness!  I thought for a while there that it was lost in the mail!


Before I get onto my card today, I wanted to let you know that another challenge is starting today at Diva's by Design.  Our last challenge was a HUGE success with hundreds of projects, and I hope this one is the same!  Come by and join us for a challenge of "Pastels"  sponsored by Crafty Emma.  Please stop by for both inspiration from our lovely and talented DT team and a challenge, I can't wait to see your projects!



This was out of my normal because I'm a bright orange and red kind of girl.  Super light colors are very rare under my glue runner.  I added the flower soft in her basket, hair and the petals she is leaving for the Bride to feel beneath her feet on her way to meet the groom.

Also, I found the cutest little silver wine glasses as an embellishment from the dollar store . . . can you believe that!  Twenty four $1.00 . . not a bad find! huh?

Because this is for a wedding, I added a ton of lace, those beautiful dried Angel wing flower petals and tons of pearls instead of entire flowers so the flower girl held all the cards!
