DL.ART THANKFUL THURSDAY LINKY CHALLENGE: ANYTHING GOES

CLICK HERE for the  DL.ART Thankful Thursday challenge #108- Mothers day, ending May 7, 2013 (week 2)

Good Morning Friends,

Welcome to another DL.ART Thankful Thursday: May LINKY  challenge

 Anything goes. LInk up as often as you like.  I will have the Mr. Linky icon up at 12:00 am.PST 
 and the Party will run until 11:59 pm PST May 31, 2013 
I am really looking forward to seeing all your creative projects. There were

over 500 entries  last month, I love seeing them and I love to come to your blog and visit. I sure hope your loving these linky parties I know I do

This graphics 45  "Place In Time"12 x 12 paper pad I have been using for the monthly challenge design is really beautiful, each month it has scenes that are relevant to that particular month and the season of the year.
This month is no different I will use this pad all year for the linky challenges.

I particularly like the vintage look of these papers. For my base I used  a green shade 4 x 8 of card stock and all the other papers are G-45.  I did use the viva pearl pen,  I don't think anyone could make a mistake using this pen the pearls always come out looking great.   At first I was going to make all my pearls the same size, but then I decided to make them all a little different size. No two pearls in nature are alike and no children are alike. So the pearls on the card represent children. Even though this challenge is anything goes, I needed to make my mom a mother's day card. So this will go with the bouquet of flowers in the vase. Once I am all finished with all the flowers I will post it again. I did not need to use it for the room on Saturday. I was given three bouquets of tulips to display. That was super nice.

The ribbon is olive green form MY Craft Spot. My card stock is and assortment pack that I purchased  CW brand. I had never heard of it but it is an archival quality and very thick I am very pleased with it.

8x8 Graphics 45 Secret Garden

10 yards twine red and white striped twine
