I've just gotten back from church services and let me tell you, it is blazing hot outside. I think our temps are supposed to be at least 100 degrees for most of the week here in Alabama. That is not allowing for the horrible humidity so I can just imagine the heat index.
I wanted to make a card this week to honor a couple of friends. Pam aka Pam124 (Splitcoast Stampers) is now on the Design Team for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenges. She is a fantastic card maker. I decided to go for the more intricate challenge this week for the MMSC64.
Had a lot of fun with this one. Great sketch! http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/
Another friend, Emily Keaton aka ejkeaton (SCS) is Guest Challenge Hostess this week for the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenges so I am making this card in her honor, also. Emily wanted us to use a pin of some sort on our cards. I found a stick pin and added a couple of beads from a broken necklace. FTTC77 http://www.flourishes.org/category/timeless-tuesday/
I was vacationing in Orange Beach, AL last week near Pensacola, FL and called Jan, the owner of Flourishes (in Pensacola) to see if I could come by. She said yes, and I had the most wonderful time there browsing through her stamps, etc. I picked up the stamp set I using for this card while there. Fun, fun!!!

Love those tulips. I won the flower sets in some blog candy and they are just lovely! Great tribute to the two punchkateers! The leaves you used on it are fabulous!
Aw, Benzi!! You are SO sweet!! Making this card to honor both Pamzi and me was such a lovely gesture. I really appreciate it!! I love that crocus stamp from Flourishes, your beautiful watercoloring, and that terrific take on the MMSC sketch!! Gorgeous pearls and leaf punches, too. What a great way to hide from the heat--sorry it didn't get any cooler down your way, though! Sounds like it's going to be stifling for this week. Yuck.
