FLOURISHES - FREE FOR ALL

Hello and happy TGIF!!!

Today,  the FLOURISHES Senior Design Team is pulling out some of our sets that are on the overstock or retiring list and giving them a new spin! 

We always love when we can do that, because it makes you fall in love with those sets all over again! For this card today I've pulled out the fun Halloween Set called Witching You a Happy Halloween. You can find a few more creations with this Set HERE , HERE and HERE!

We know you’ll think so too, so we invite you to take a trip on over to the rest of the Design Team to see what they have up their creative sleeves today.....

• Allison Cope
• Christine Okken
• Cindy Lawrence
• Heather Jensen
• Julie Koerber
• Maki Jones
• Silke Ledlow

• Tosha Leyendekker

Please be sure to give some extra love for our lovely designer Maki Jones…..Maki is taking a break from the Design Team and we’ll miss her very much while she’s gone! She’s such a talented lady who has treated us to some amazing and creative designs these last few years on the Timeless Tuesday Team and the Senior Design Team. We send big hugs out to Maki!

I did not get a chance to play the CQC212 Challenge earlier this week, but figured it will be perfect with this fun Halloween card!!! The layout is from this weeks Retro Sketches #86.... 

 

Have a great day/weekend!!! I'll be back tomorrow with my last Crazy 4 Challenges creation!!! Hope to see you then.....

I'M STILL ALIVE....

Howdy Friends!

Sorry, I have been so quiet, but this head cold definitely took the wind out of me. I've been sleeping a lot and pretty much tried to take it easy.

As promised I want to share some *Home Coming* photos with you.....it was an awesome evening...we won the football game...that was definitely the icing on the cake!!!

Jerry, was such a proud daddy and enjoyed showing off Sarah! 

As you can tell Sarah had a great night and at the end of the evening, she had a chance to pose with her friend Jasmine, who actually won the Senior Home Coming! Sarah and Jasmine are also playing on the Varsity Volleyball Team together this past season and had previously played Basketball in Middle School together......this evening was somewhat bittersweet, since Jasmine is heading to college next year and their sports journey will end!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the pictures....I'll be back with a new card tomorrow! See you then!!!

                                                            Hugs, ~Silke~
