Good morning!! Well, I had the best day off yesterday…breakfast downtown on a sunny morning and a bit of fun shopping at Michaels and the Apple Store (yes, a shiny new black iPad 2 is on its way to me in 2-3 weeks :) Then I got home and a sweet little package from Taylored Expressions was in the mail with some new My Mind’s Eye papers and prima flowers :) So a fabulous day all round! I also finished this fun little card that uses this week’s Colour Q colours :) I was inspired by the fabulous card by Kasia, one of the design team members. My fellow Diva Tosh had also made a similar flower on her blog, so I went over to view her tutorial and created this super fun loopy felt flower. I also picked a sentiment that makes my card perfect for the new challenge over on A Passion for Papertrey…to be inspired by a song. Remember Kool and the Gang? “Celebrate good times, come on and celebrate!" Kind of a fun song and reminds me of the little parties I have in the studio!! LOL I hope you are celebrating good times wherever you are…oh, and any iPad users out there? I could use some little bits of information to get me started…have any? I’ve been in Etsy looking for a funky cover…need help with that too ;) Thanks for visiting!

Oh...that flower is to die for! I love how you changed your stitching too as you hit the sentiment panel! Stunner Maureen!
This is absolutely beautiful. I love how you did the felt flower.
What a gorgeous flower! Love how it pops right off the card in your beautiful selection of neutrals. Those leaves are so pretty, too!

Just love the flower!!! Great use of the colours too! Lucky are you to have an iPad2. My daughter is drooling she wants one so badly LOL! Enjoy the rest of your long weekend. Raining here - ugh! So no flower planting :( Trip to Costco instead - can you hear the kids groaning all the way up there LOL!
Oh. My. Goodness. That flower is STUNNING!!! WOW! I MUST try this flower!!! Holy cow! Maureen, this is so gosh darn GORGEOUS!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
This has nothing to do with the card, although I liked it :) I actually wanted to show you this iPad cover. It is incredibly awesome, although I don't know how well it actually works.
