Happy Monday. Our hostess this week at BBTB2 is our lovely Susan who asked us to use a 3D flower design. I borrowed Flower Shoppe from my dear friend Pat, and this is the flower cut I selected. I embossed my flower cuts, I added some leaves from one of my Sizzix cuts, and the butterfly is a die cut from Cheery Lynn Designs. All are mounted on a Cuttlebug Plus embossing folder. The center of the flower has pearls and card candy.
Now for a little news. I am stepping away from BBTB2 for now so I can devote my time to sewing for some shelters and worthwhile agencies. For those of you who have followed along my bloggy journal you have seen posts where I donated artwork or sewing projects to worthwhile causes like Breast Cancer Awareness, Gray Matters (which is a brain tumor support group), the Banner Oncology support groups, some fund raisers for Pet Rescues, and a few others. I now have the opportunity to donate my sewing projects to several care centers, nursing homes and Homes for Abused Children and Adults. I have about 14 quilts I have finished with many more to work on. I love sewing and this new adventure will take a lot of my time. So for now.... a fond fond goodbye to the wonderful design team sisters and to my friends and followers. I will post cards now and then, and maybe some sewing projects.

What a beautiful card Carole! I love that flower and love the embossing on it as well as the embossing on the card! You are such a wonderful person with all your selfless donations to many worthwhile agencies. You will be missed more than you know my friend, but we understand so and this is such an important task! I know first hand how beautiful your sewing is! Thank you for sharing your talents with us and with others who need it so badly. Big hugs to you my friend!!!
I love what you did with this card shop flower, Carole. Your work is exquisite, as always. Love all of the embossing and those elegant colors! Of course you know how I feel about your plans - I am stuck between "I am proud of you for your charity work" and "but I NEED YOU"!! I have tried hard not to whine so let me just say I will miss you on the team!!! :)
