I hope your Monday is off to a great start. Are you enjoying this beautiful weather? I have been outside planting flowers and washing off porches. It is my favorite time of year. I love heading to the porch with a good book and looking at all the flowers. (I even like watering and taking care of those flowers but asked me again in July.....and the answer might be not so much. Then it will be HOT.) ;) I have two cards to share today for fun challenges. The first card is for the Inky Paws Challenge and uses the new stamp set by Newton's Nook called "Little Lilies." There is also a shadow challenge at Just Us Girls so I shadowed my word die cut with black cardstock. Stamping Sensations has a "Close To Nature" challenge and I think these lilies and butterflies fit the bill nicely. Last but not least is the Cut It Up challenge of "Flowers."

My second card is for the Time Out Challenge of the word "Wild." I have some wild (but cute) animals flying by on this card. The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is "Animal Magic" so I think animals flying in a hot air balloon are pretty magical. :)

I love Lilies of the Valley. They smell so nice and always remind me of my childhood since we had them growing in our yard.
Your card is beautiful. I love the soft spring colors! Thanks for sharing your Flower creation with us at Cut it Up!

Love your critter card - the gingham and textured clouds and all those blues make me smile! Thanks for sharing this with us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge!
Two pretty cards and loving the floral one in the lilacs and green, many thanks for sharing with us at Stamping Sensations 'Close to Nature' theme.

Both of your cards are so gorgeous. I saw the Lily in the Valley and wished we had already finished Winter (I'm in New Zealand) and the bulbs were coming up. Although we have had the warmest Autumn EVER (yesterday I got sunburnt!!) so bulbs are coming up now instead of August.... Your 'Wild' card is perfect for our challenge. I love the colour combo and all the texture on your card makes me want to touch it so badly. I'm so very glad you shared this with us at TIME OUT!
Both of your cards are fantastic! I love those flowers and butterflies with your perfectly shadowed sentiment for our challenge. Thanks for playing with us at JUGS!
