Wonderful Mother CMCC NO.18

May 3, 2014

It was a gorgeous day!  I spent the whole morning planting flowers.  I always plant a lot of pots on my deck so that I can enjoy them all summer.  I do love the way they look.  I know my Daddy was smiling down from heaven today when he saw me planting flowers.  He was a farmer at heart and loved to watch things grow.  I guess I still have a lot of Indiana Farm Girl in me!

I wanted to make a card for The Colour Me Challenge this week.  It was fun to choose the color combo you wanted to use this week.  That was perfect for me because I wanted to make my 85 year old Mommy's Mother's Day card.  She loves greens and brown tones and purple.  I know she will love the distressed look and the old fence, too.  I hope you like it, too!


My five colors are:  Crumb Cake, Gumball Green, So Saffron, Wisteria Wonder and Naturals White.
