Doesn't everyone love chocolate?

With the past weekend being Easter,

I have had my share of the tradional candy and sweets.

But, I thought it would be nice to be able to present a special friend with more than just a simple card , or just a little package of chocolate.

I have a dear acquaintance that has been so wonderfully thoughtful over the last few years, and never askes anyone to do for her. She is so very SWEET!

A nice box of chololates or a gift card for her favorite

coffee latte drink at Starbuck's would make her very happy!

So, for the Waltzing Mouse challenge this week ,

I made this SWEET set that I know I would love to receive, "just because".

The "Sweet" label stamp from Waltzing Mouse's "Rescue Remedies"

was perfect for such a wonderful confection!

And, wanting to use something besides the basic folded card base, I decided to make a tri-fold but place the sketch horizontally! I have to humor myself sometimes... lol!

Inside...  truer words were never spoken!

I had better deliver this before there are no more truffles left to share!

The sketch challenge at Waltzing Mouse!

Happy Spring!

This card was made for the sketch challenge over at

Craft's Meow

I used the sentiment from Craft's Meow's, "Fly Free".

The DP is My Mind's Eye, "Lost and Found, Madison Avenue" collection

The flower is Prima and the little brads are brown felt ones from my stash.

I love using ribbon as a border, especially ruffled a bit!

It seems strange making a Spring card when the temperature is in the low 90's today!

Thanks for looking at my blog!

Masculine birthday card!

I'm always at a loss when it comes to whipping up a quick masculine birthday card!

Flourishes is asking for

"Birthday Cards"
 in this current challenge.

I think this meets both requirements!

I love this stamp from Flourishes of the Medallion, and it heat embosses so beautifully!

So much detail and class!

Now, bring it on!  I'm ready for at least one more male birthday!

For that matter, I can't think of any of my gal friends who wouldn't

enjoy a card like this!

I am thrilled to submit this in the challenge at Flourishes!
