Happy Sunday, peeps! And Happy Mother's Day to all the moms, step-moms and pet-moms out there! Ann is our Paper Players hostess this week and she has a perfectly delightful color challenge for us!
I chose Smoky Slate as my additional color! I stamped and diecut my images, coloring the florals and bird with either Blends or Markers. I did emboss the bird house elements with the Timber embossing folder and very lightly added some Smoky Slate ink on top...you can barely see it!
I added a little silver pearl on the top, as well as some stamped embellishments on the roof elements. Finally, it all went on a panel of Basic White, embossed with the Eyelet embossing folder. I left off a sentiment, as I am not sure for what occasion I'll use this...it could be used for almost anything!
I hope you'll play along with these gorgeous shades that Ann has put together for us--I know I love them! Check out the Paper Players blog to see what the other team members came up with! Hope to see you there!
Dana usually takes me out flower/plant shopping for Mother's Day, and yesterday we made a trip to a local Amish nursery. We have LOTS of Amish nurseries in our area, so we decided to try a new one and although it was smaller than some, it didn't disappoint:
Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

LeAnne, your little birdhouse couldn't be any sweeter! and LOOK you already have a resident! Who could resist a bird house with a 'window' box!?
What a wonderful tradition for you and Dana - I love your choices... and it looks like I MIGHT have dressed Cassidy - all gray!
Happy Mother's Day, my friend!

Super cute card, LeAnne! Your coloring is beautiful! just started playing with this bundle and it is so fun! All the flowers are beautiful! Have fun planting!
Oh, I just love this card, LeAnne! Such soft pastel colors on your card. Your coloring is wonderful and I do love the embossed background panel! Love all the pretty flowers at the greenhouse, too! The Amish always have the most beautiful flowers & flowerbeds that I have ever seen!! Happy Mother's Day and enjoy your day! :)
This birdhouse is adorable, LeAnne! I love the woodgrain look and the sweet bird too! I have some flowers to plant too. Hopefully it will stay cooler for a few days. Happy Mothers Day!
What a pretty little birdhouse! This is a delightful card, LeAnne. Looks like you girls picked a great spot to shop this year. Happy Mother's Day!
This is so sweet LeAnne - I love the woodgrain texture and background embossing too. Such a pretty card! My birdhouses are seeing a lot of action right now - one sadly has an unhatched nest of 10 eggs :-( but the other box has 7 hatched blue tits that are now 11 days old and growing stronger each day!
Your card is the cutest use of the birdhouse stamp I've seen! I love it!
Thanks for sharing.
Now get out there & start planting!! ha!
