May Card Swap by Creations by Shirl

I am participating in my first card swap this month. The theme is flowers. Here's my version:

Cardstock: Recollections
Sentiment: Simply Said by Stampin' Up
Ink: Pear Pizzazz by Stampin' Up
Brad: Stampin' Up
Flower: Recollections
Flower border: Be You collection by Fancy Pants

My 22-year-old nephew sent me the sweetest note the other day. Apparently he wants to bring back the ancient art of handwritten notes! I discovered this smiley face the other day while looking through my cartridges (Wild Card), so I just had to use it. My nephew is the lucky one to get a card with it :-)

I made this card for the DL.ART 1 YEAR BLOGAVERSARY hop/challenge. 

Cardstock - Stampin' Up

Digital Paper - Jen Reed
Cupcake - Art Philosophy Cartridge; cut at 3"
#1 - Art Philosophy Cartridge; cut at 2"
Ribbon - Stampin' Up; certainly celery


Congratulations to Diana L. on one year!
