text: Live-Love-Laugh-Create: pretty flower pots
  Good Monday morning everyone! I hope that you had a wonderful weekend and that you got lots done! Today's post will be photo heavy and probably text light but I hope you enjoy it anyway!
  My friend, Janel, dropped off this super cute flower pot card to me for Valentine's Day last month. How cute and ingenious, right?! I knew I was going to have to make one myself so I put the card to the side only to pull it out a few days ago to start working on my own. All I did to make this card is to make a regular size card (5 1/2" x 4 1/4"), I then laid Janel's card on it and used my pencil for the cut marks. I just took it to my cutter lined up the pencil marks and cut it. So, no I do not have a template. Just play with it a little and I'm sure you'll come up with the angle that is perfect for you!
  Anyway, this is the card I was working on for the flock/fuzz challenge with limeLIGHT when I realized that I needed to use the sketch that Mandy provided (again, duh for me!). I used Chocolate Box Cher ry Cordial Core'dinations cardstock from limeLIGHT. The flocking is at the top of the pot for the dirt. Another fun element of this card that I got from limeLIGHT is the beautiful butterfly from Prima. My goodness it is lovely. It really would make anything that you use it on special. I made my little "happy spring" sign on my computer (and yes...I had to use the same seed packet that I got from Janel in my flower pot as I forgot to buy one when I went to the store). The patterned cardstock is from SU!. The stamps are from a new PTI set called Wishing You.
  Now, how fun would this be to send? Obviously you can't used a regular envelope but I'll be sending this one to my grandparents in a bubble mailer hoping the USPS doesn't ruin it. I know they will love it though!
  I have another busy week this week so I will probably be sporadic with my posting. I hope you have a wonderful Monday! See you soon!

  This is so adorable! And I love the idea for using flock on it. I'll have to try to make one some time.
