Pretty Blue Flowers – February Bouquets

I created this card for a challenge that a group of us gals decided to do once a month among ourselves.  We met on StampTV and call ourselves the Roses.  The group consists of Betty, Connie, Kerrie, Olga, Sue and myself.  Sue brought to us the February challenge to make a thank you card for Gina K and her staff for starting the StampTV site and everything they do.  Not only have we learned so many techniques but have developed such wonderful friendships.  The month of March is my challenge.  The challenge I bring to the Roses is March-ing with the Troops – to create a Thinking of You card and send to my son, Travis, who is deployed at this time in Afghanistan.  I can’t wait to see what they all come up with.
