Gorgeous card and such a cute bear. Thank you for playing at the AAA Card Challenges. This card would also be perfect for the Anything Birthday Goes at the AAA Birthday Card Challenges ;-)

Sweet floral card in pink and white...what more could you ask for a spring card? What is the name of that SSS frame die? SO nice!! I like that sentiment a lot too. So glad you joined us at Just Us girls this week!

Three gorgeous cards Karen, love the background stamp, and it goes perfectly with all of your toppings, the birthday bear is adorable as are the ducks and that delicate frame is going onto my wishlist lol! Thankyou too for playing along at Seize the Birthday, Cathy x

You have quite the inspiration on this post, Karen. The bear card is darling against the green background, your duck card made me smile from ear to ear, and your last card is as pretty as can be. I love that each card was made with the same pretty background. Such a great idea. Thanks for linking up with us at both Seize the Birthday and Color Hues.

A trio of fabulous cards Karen and of course I was struck by the ducks on your 2nd card...they quack me up! (Sorry, I couldn't resist!) You used our yellow and blue challenge colors perfectly with this card and we're so glad you shared with us at The Color Hues Challenge! Marcia (DT) :0)

The cute bear and its balloon (on that versatile floral background that you have used on all of your cards) are very sweet. Although you didn't mention it, I'm guessing you took inspiration from the colors and the flowers from our picture. I really like all of your cards. Thanks for playing at Time Out's Photo Challenge.

That background stamp served you well, Jackie. All your cards are beautifully designed. Thanks for sharing the lovely pink one with us at Just Us Girls.

Three fabulous creations! I love that pretty background stamp you used and those pretty flowers with the soft colors for our challenge. Thanks for playing along with us at JUGS!

Nancy said...

What a sweet card! In the future, please be sure to share with us how you were inspired by the photo at Time Out!

Three fanastic cards Karen. It's amazing how different each background is when only changing the colour you've sponged. Three wonderful designs! xx

Karen what a great post, super fun that you carried the same patterned paper through all your cards! I love the ducks!! I like how you used the colours, blue background and yellow duck bills. Thank you so much for sharing with us at the Color Hues!

Thank you so much for your visit and your lovely comment. It means a lot xx
Ooh, your cards are super cute. Love the backgrounds. Lots of interest, but it doesn't detract from the bear, birds or sentiment. Might have to pinch this idea :o)
