I'm trying very hard to remember the good times and focus on happy things and the gorgeous weather we are having today. I woke up bright and early and watched 'The Royal Wedding' this morning, which was so sweet and touching. I can only imagine how proud Diana would have been of her son and I'm sure this too, in some ways is a bittersweet day for William and Kate.
I've spent most of my day crafting and focusing on fun and happy things and both of the cards I am here to share are both very sweet and make me smile! My first card was created for today's brand new challenge over at Baby Bud Designs and I was very happy to play along! I totally loved being part of the Design Team and had always loved these wonderful sweet images. Today's also a fun day at Baby Bud, as it's Friday Freebie day and if you hurry on over to the blog, you can pick up a cute new freebie HERE! You can also even use that image to play along in this month's challenge which is "Punches & Dies". The Lady Buds want to see lots of die-cuts or punched shapes on your card ! This is my card I was inspired to create, featuring one of my favorite little buds - Kira, who was paper-pieced into this cute little Pink outfit!

Sorry for your loss.. I lost my sister of 14 years when I was 11. I often think of her. She passed away May 20th, 1966 - Time may heal some of the pain but not my memories of her. She still lives in my heart. I think I will dedicate a special card in her honor and send as a just because to my mother.
Beautiful cards Lisa - love the cute little girl and the gorgeous flower. Thank you so much for joining us at the MAWTT challenge this week - Hugs, Sylvia xxx

Hello my friend-
I'm sorry to hear about your long month of sadness. Just reading your words, you must know that your thoughts are words of wisdom for someone else. Your words are always so powerful and positive....So you most know that you have a strong will for anything and everything.
Your cards are beautiful and stunning. Baby Bud Kira look fantastic paper piece all in pink polks dots and sparkle. So happy to see you join us this month at Baby Bud Designs "Dies/Punches" Challenge.
