He's cute, not scary by any means .. :) So here is my creation and I hope you like it enough to send me some love... I can always use "love" inspiration to do my creations.

Yellow Roses

Hi My Scrappin' Peeps, I thought I would post a CAS card that I made for a challenge that required using "Yellow", not being one of my favorite colors, but thought it looked okay when I finished.  The Challenge is CMC Copic NEW CHALLENGE #41 ** YELLOWS **.  So here is my creation.....  hope you like it.

 This is one of my favorite stamps from Heartfelt that has not been used for a while and thought with Mother's Day just right around the corner it would be ideal for a card.

Other challenges I am entering this creation in is:

Lollipop Crafts - Spring Fling

Made Especially for You - Three Flowers

Simon Says Stamp and Show - Anything Goes

Stamp and Create - Spring

Tammy Scrapin Corner - Anything Goes with a Splash of Green

Take Care and God Bless

Bounty of Buttons

Hi to all of my Scrappy Friends.

Take a peek and you will be sooooo glad you did.

I decided to use the image "A Little Birdie Told Me" and added a cute sentiment inside to an expecting couple. I thought this would be a really great way to let someone know how happy you are that they have a "Bundle from Heaven" on the way. So here is what I created to show that.
