Caterpillar and Quote

I made this Gate-fold card for two challenges: Bitten By The Bug 2 (Caterpillar from Walk In My Garden Cartridge) and CropStop (You Can "Quote Me On That"!).

and the inside:

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White, Black, Green and Three Different Patterned Papers
Cricut Cartridge Walk In My Garden Butterfly, page 115 (Base, Shift and Base Shadow) and Caterpillar, page 120 (Base and Shift)

Two Googly eyes
Queen and Co Pearls, Nightfall (2 Medium) and Grass Green (1 Large, 1 Medium and 1 Small)

I hope you noticed that the background for the caterpillar is leaves and the background for the butterfly is flowers. (Caterpillars eat leaves and Butterflies fly around the flowers).

Hope you liked the card.

Thanks for stopping by....I would love to hear from you (leave a comment). See you soon.

I hope that you are able to spend some time with your mother this Sunday. I lost mine in 1991...July will be 20 years. Wow...is it really that long? I miss her so much. There are still times that I go to pick up the phone so I can tell her something important that is happening. I know she is with me and always looking out for me.That thought gives me comfort. Therefore, I dedicate this card to all the mothers out there (living or not).

Leave me a comment...I always love hearing from you...thanks!

Make a memory this Sunday with your mother or with your kids...no matter what it is, it will be cherished. Happy Mother's Day!

I really like the way these cards turned out. Very Springy, I think. The sun was shining for a change today...maybe that's what inspired these cards. I also got a chance to go out to the vegetable garden and pull out all the dead stuff. (Yuck....) I found that I had some leftover vegetables from last year...a couple of carrots and a half dozen onions. Can't wait to get this year's crops started. I also got to plant some red Petunias in a pot for the front porch. Actually feel like I accomplished something this Saturday!

Well, enjoy the rest of the day...whether it is crafting, reading or gardening...imagine what you could do

Bloomin'

 I guess I was inspired from the Philadelphia International Flower Show and wanting Spring to be here. I thought I would enter it in CropStop Challenge #10 Spring is in the Air! Use butterflies and flowers. Can't you just smell the hyacinths?

I am so looking forward to being outside when it is warmer and being able to plant. I like to use Terra Cotta pots. I have used them plain and painted.I just think they are so versatile.

Hope you like the card and it has brought a little bit of Spring to you....leave a comment...imagine what you could do....
