I hope you all enjoyed a lovely weekend and did some fun things. I'm writing this post today with mixed emotions....happy because "It's my Birthday" but also sad because today we have to say goodbye to two of our DT sisters......
Sue and Jane are persuing other things in their lives and have decided to step down from the team, and as we have become such a loving, supportive family that it's so hard to say goodbye! We have laughed and cried together, supported each other through things that have happened in our personal lives and have come to love our weekly emails with one another. I know for sure that we are not the only ones who will miss seeing their names on Priscilla's blog, but you the players will also miss them too. Please join me in letting both Sue and Jane know how much they are loved and cared about and that they will be greatly missed from the Midnight Madness Team. Please stop by their blogs to show some love as it is an emotional day for them too! WE LOVE YOU SUE AND JANE xxxx
OK, enough of the sad stuff....now onto the weekly business....we are now on week 47 and have been admiring the gorgeous creations all of you have been making!

This card is something different than what I usually make but I had fun with it! When I asked my son what he thought (I always get an honest opinion from my little one), he told me he liked the card, but it's very busy!!!
The inside of my card I stitched and added a few flowers and have to say I do like how it came out...even if it is busy!
I love this little sentiment as it's so true
Challenges entered with this card

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, girlfriend!! You are one of the sweetest friends that I have found, and you deserve a very special day. Wishing you many, many more!!
ReplyDeleteSo funny about your son. My kids are like that too, and quite honestly, I love busy cards...it's a feast for the eyes, and your cards are amazing whether they be simple or filled with details and embellishments. This card is no exception. I am loving that envelope too. What a wonderful job!
p.s. you are such a sap...thanks for making us all cry with that sad farewell to our friends/sisters on the team. I hate to say goodbye to friends, but we can stalk their blogs, right?
Hugs and birthday punches (paper ones that is) to you!! :)

ReplyDeleteDenise, this floral set in purple and blue is one of my favorites here :) I like the embossing and roses. Hope you have a wonderful Birthday Celebration!! And Happy Easter too :) xox ~Jeni
ReplyDeleteCharlotte, your card is wonderful. Both inside and out. I love the uneven stitching and your color choices are so pretty. Those flowers are lovely. Matching envelope makes for a beautiful set. Sorry to hear that Sue and Jane are leaving, and everyone is so sad, hard to say goodbye when you have all become such good friends. Thanks for your warm welcome for me this month and your support and encouragement. I had a great time.
