Bloom.

I've always loved the expression "Bloom Where You're Planted". I have a bazillion +1 flower stamps (and I know I'm not the only stamper with so many!), so this sentiment from Rosie's Roadshow has endless possibilities for me! As we get closer to spring it's going to be seeing a LOT of ink over the next few months.

The patterned paper is from the Memory Box 'Homespun' collection. Their 6x6 papers are great! They are a real nice weight, and are double sided. AND, both sides coordinate so they're especially great for those days when you want things to come simple to you. I personally love it when I don't have to think to hard to make something come together.

Like this layout, for example... I've probably made hundreds of cards using this layout. I just *like* it.

PS: Contact me if you'd like to special order any Memory Box products. I have a big order arriving this week, but if you're still not seeing what you want on the Sassy & Sweet shop, I'm happy to add your wish list to my next order.

Great card. I love the flower coming out of the shoe, but probably not for the same reason as everyone else. My husband's family has this problem: They have....

are you ready....

...STINKY FEET...

Seems both of our daughters have inherited the trait. Worse than that, their babies all have it too!!! Can you believe a baby who is yet to see her first birthday can have stinky feet???? Yup, tis' true!

Anyway, this card just proves that beautiful things can come from things not so appealing. Believe me, after many trips in the car with an odd nasty smell, ( they thought they could slip off their shoes without anyone noticing!!!) I can pick out stinky feet a mile away. And if you thing I can't be telling the truth here, we all like the smell of skunk!!! So, what does that tell you about their feet?

Thanks for brightening my day. I am going to send a link to this page to both of my girls so they can see that there is still hope. (I won't mention that most things grow better in fertilizer - and we all know what the best fertilizer is, right?)

Smiling as I type,

My mother would love this card! She is always saying things like that. I really love the design of these stamps! The thin lines and simple structure. They are great! And you make great cards with them!

Thanks for the giggle. What a *true* meaning to the phrase *bloom where you are planted* hmmm... Cute card. Very clever.

Congrats on your purse on ebay. $46 bucks. WoW. Looks like it was worth it though.

Have a good day.
