Ha Ha snuck away to play!

I had a few minutes tonight so I thought I'd play along with the Hambo Hoedown Challenge. This week we were given the image of a basket full of hearts and a sentiment. The challenge was to use it along with flowers and lace. Since it said we could do any project, here is what I did.....
When I first printed the digi the size reminded me of those cards you get when you buy flowers. So I made some flowers out of paper, crochet, brads, and my big shot. The lace is wrapped around the bottom with a heart charm. I used a recycled can for the vase and wrapped it in designer paper. To hide the inside of the can I cut and rolled some green paper to look like grass. The hearts in the 'card' are sparkled and coloured in different shades of pink. I then wrote 'love ya mom' in pink ink. Since becoming a mom I don't see my mom that often on Mother's day,so I dedicate this virtual flower bouquet to her. (ps mom if your reading this, I love ya bunches)
Off to bed, have a great night!
