This is my BBTB2 DT card for this week… we were to use Leaf 1 from Life is a Beach… to be honest I was at a loss at what to do with this cut.. Then my daughter called and Katie a co worker of hers wanted me to make a Mother’s Day card for her mom… and her mom loves bright colors and flip flops… and a few other things…well this card came to me when I started working with the leaf and the flip flops… and then this idea came to me…I was excited and nervous at the same time…then when I finished the card I was just too excited at how everything turned out…. I hope that Katie and her mom loves it and I hope the visitors at BBTB2 like it too!!!…. Be sure and visit BBTB2 and see all the DT projects… thank you so much for looking!… and I hope that you enjoy the video!… Hugs, Jeannie

Adam is one of my Facebook friends because he and his wife took Madison's wedding pictures.... he saw my "Every Light in the House is On" mushroom card yesterday on Facebook and he asked me to make a birthday card for his wife... he lives a little more than an hour away and I explained to him that because I mail them in a bubble envelope they take longer to arrive than a day, he was willing to drive the hour or more  to pick up my card.... was that a compliment or what!!!.... so I got to work designing on my Gypsy last night...and the card came together so good this morning...I am just so excited about this card.... hope that Adam and his wife are happy with it!!... thank you so much for looking!!...
