Hello again and welcome to another Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge.  This week is our hostess and she is asking that we make a mini card that is no bigger than 4x3. This was definitely a challenge for me as  I already have problems getting everything to fit on a regular sized card.  In the end I was happy with the result and it fits in the palm of my hand.

I used Year in Flowers 3 and Flourishes Classic White cardstock.  The image is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

Hi everyone!  I am back again to share a card I made for the newest Flourishes Timeless Tuesday.  This week Maki  is our hostess and she is asking us to use an insect image and/or elements for your card/project.

I used the cute set called Flowers and Tags along with the matching tailor made die.  I also used Frames and Flowers and Hydrangea.  I used Spellbinders dies Classic Petal Edgeabilites and Classic Ovals LG.

The pretty papers come from THIS 123 create Kit.

Hello sweets!  I have been trying to get over this summer cold that I seem to have caught.  I ended up with a sinus infection and had to get antibiotics.  Then my poor boy has the same thing.    Luckily I am starting to feel much better.  I do have a card to share with you  for the newest challenge at Flourishes Timeless Tuesday.  This week Cindy is our hostess and she is asking us to use *Kraft* paper.  I use it a good bit anyway so this was not a hard one for me.  I did use it for the card base and mat layer.

I could not wait to pull out the new Autumn Blossoms set that was just released for August.  It is part of the  The Blossoms Collection, this beautiful array of autumn blossoms illustrated by Marcella Hawley features a bouquet, corner stamps, and pieces to create your own borders or frames. Add in a trio of all occasion sentiments and you have the perfect set to create cards for every day correspondence. Set measures 4 by 6" and is the perfect companion to sister sets Happily Ever After and Letters in Blossom  If you like this set, you might also like our Summer Blossoms set as well featuring summer florals.

I used the new 123 Create kit found HERE in the Flourishes store.

Hello again!  I am back to share a card I made for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday.  It is my turn to host this week and I got to use one of my favorite sets called With Gratitude.  Here are the details on this beautiful set:
Coneflower and Bell Flower -- two beauties perfect for sending a note of gratitude. This set was released as an exclusive set for FLIP members and is now availble to the public after being in great demand! Illustrated beautifully by Marcella Hawley, this set measures 4 by 6" and offers not only 2 beautiful focal flowers but 6 sentiments and a script border.

I drew this sketch up on paper and then the fabulous Julie made a beautiful graphic out of it.  I sure do need to learn how to do that.  I had a lot of fun and would love to make more.

Check out his fabulous 123 Create kit.  If you come here often you know that I lean more towards the pastel colors when possible.  Here are the details about this kit:

With our 1,2,3, Create Kits, you have three essential elements in one kit –paper, ribbon and embellishments all color coordinated to make card making easy! This kit, called Delightful features a 6 by 6 inch Delightful Authentique paper pack (double-sided paper), 2 yards of sheer satin scalloped edge pink ribbon, 1 yards of 5/8" avocado cotton linen ribbon, 1 yard of tangerine velvet and lace trim, 1 yard of white colored lace trim, 2 yards of mango orange seam binding ribbon, coordinating buttons,  and a pack of rhinestone swirls.

I can't believe it has been a week since I posted last.  Time sure flies when you have a lot to do.  My FIL had a stroke last Friday so we had to go for a visit and I be dog gone if the heat didn't get to my car.  It was 112 and the belt and belt positioner ended up making some god awful noise and had to be replaced before we could go home.  This has been quite the week for me.  My father's girlfriend just had a double mastectomy today for Breast Cancer.  She was lucky enough that the cancer had not spread to the lymph nodes or muscle tissue.  Thank God!  That has been my  week...how was yours?

This week for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday, Allison is asking that we CASE a DT member from the Flourishes Gallery.  I chose a beautiful card from Cindy Lawrence found in the gallery HERE.  She also has a video tutorial HERE showing how she did the pretty border on her card.  If you look to the right on the gallery page you can see that you are able to search by stamp sets if you like.  If you noticed I was so busy trying to get the card size right and goofed the side that the border went on...OOPS!

I also wanted to take a minute to tell my sweet friend Mona goodbye.  This is her last post with Flourishes Timeless Tuesday.  I will miss her and her beautiful creations each week.  I hope you will still find a little crafty time to play sometimes.  :)
