Celebrate tag cards

Today at Catch the Bug it's New Release Day and the image is Fanny March and then for my card I used a sentiment from TLC, Create.  I know that they are truly clovers, but I needed a funny card for a friend so I went with making them into pink flowers, lol.

Sending hugs and happy thoughts

I've had this card done for quite sometime, but didn't want to post it since I made it for a friend and I wanted to wait until I sent it to her since she has a "thing" for pandas.  She has been having a rough time lately and recently lost her Grandfather and gone through other changes so I thought it was a good time to mail it out.
So the image is Bear Hugs from Beccy's Place. Believe it or not....a CAS card for me.

You cannot cure stupidity!

Just a reminder that at Catch the Bug there is the Stella Says Sketch Challenge joining on for one more week.  I made a card using the funny image of Stella Stupidity.  My Dad uses that sentiment as well.  I added Glossy Accents to her eyeglasses and the IV bag.  I also put some pearls for her earrings.  I have been a nurse for almost 30 years and I have never worn a nursing cap and I can't tell you the last time that I wore a uniform dress/skirt.  I guess Stella isn't up to date, hehe.
