Countryside Bluebonnets

Mornin' y'all!  I managed to get a bit more sleep last night so I am hoping to get some things done today in my craft room.  I actually have two scrapbook layouts that I'm working on...I was doing the wedding album earlier this year but decided to take a break from that.

Anyway, I have a card to share with the epitome of Texas wildflowers, here it is:


I had to dust off Wisteria Wishes, which retired last year.  I'm entering this at Retro Rubber:


I did the top row, with die cuts (Countryside Corners, new), gems (Foiled Gems, not new), and spring (bluebonnets).  I've had Wisteria Wishes for about a year and a half and I wish I had played with it more when it was current.  Doesn't stop me from breaking it out for challenges now ;) but it is SUCH a neat bundle.

I'm also entering this at the Paper Players:


Bluebonnets are THE spring flower in Texas and I tried to keep it CAS, though the main image panel is pretty large.  So maybe it's CAS-plus?

This card will be going to my husband's grandmother along with a picture of Ryan:


They're all fancy with school pictures here, I could choose from like 8 different backgrounds, but I had to do the bluebonnets since this is his only school year in Texas.

That's it for me today, time for me to get Ryan off to school and then I have a yoga class at the Y.  Cheers!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Wisteria Wishes
Ink:  Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party, Starry Sky
Paper:  Starry Sky, Thick Basic White
Accessories:  Countryside Corners dies, hole punch, Foil Gems, In Color baker's twine, Mini Dimensionals

Oh, Christy! What a perfect card to send with this picture of Ryan! His great-grandmother will love it! This is such a gorgeous card. It would be so cool to have the picture and the card framed together. Thank you so much for sharing with The Paper Players this week!
