You're the Best Daisies and Sunflower....CASEplorations October Challenge~Inspiration #41, Jennifer McGuire Share Handmade Kindness Challenge Week 1~Friends & FamilySTAMPlorations~Anything Goes

Hello,

We've had our initial peep of winter with the snow that fell on Monday and temperatures that haven't been warm enough to melt it. The toasty woolies are out for business!  Of course, those falling flakes sent me in search of something warm, with notes of summer or, at least, fall...And, I found it.

Today, I'm sharing my case of Vicki's gorgeous flowers from CASEplorations Challenge~Inspiration #41 post




She's used three of my favourite STAMPlorations flowers, so I played along with a wee bouquet of my own.  My colours were inspired by sweet Taunya, over at Daisies Girl, who invited us to celebrate  her 4 year Blogiversary by inspiring us to create cards using these wonderful  images of her favourite things:


Although it's had to see in the photo, I have a wee strip of black on the left side of my card, and where Vicki masterfully created a water-colour background for her flowers, I went with light green stamped images from STAMPlorations' new Mixed Media set...


I hope my daisies for Taunya, inspired by daisies by Vicki will bring smiles to both of these wonderful friends.

In the event that happens, I'm joining Jennifer McGuire's

challenge.  Sharing handmade kindness: yes, yes and yes! Something  I need to do far more often!
