Hi there! Hope you are all have a wonderful week so far! My hubby and I met my son for lunch at one of my favorite Thai restaurants - Malee's on Main. They serve up some tasty dishes EVERY TIME! I LOVE their food so much that I have even taken cooking classes there where they shared the recipe for their secret sauce! YUMMY :) Have you taken cooking classes at a restaurant before?
I am here to share this card I made featuring Taylored Expressions Friendship Blooms set:
I inked up the leafy branch image then followed by stamping several lil' red flowers. Using a combination of S4-249 Big Scalloped Circles LG & S4-250 Big Scalloped Circles SM, I made a three dimensional flower.
For sketch inspiration, I played along with this week's Sweet Sunday sketch challenge:
That's all I have for today. Thanks for looking - Be Sweet!

So very sweet Mona! I just saw this paper on another bloggers post and was thinking I needed to use this pretty floral print and here it is again. It must be a sign. LOL The stamp looks so much like that DP. Love the little butterfly too.
You know I can't cook...maybe I need to take cooking lessons. :)

Hahaha... as I was scrolling down to comment, I saw someone say, "Mona, do you ever create anything ugly?" I had to laugh!!!

You inspired me - I found the Melissa Frances bingo cards at my LSS today, and while I have no idea what I will do with them, I thought of your project, and splurged! :)
Very pretty! Love the musical butterfly!!
So beautiful soft and shabby chic. Love looking at your compositions!
Simply beautiful Mona, thanks for being such a great inspiration!
Perfectly fantastic Mona!!! Another stunning creation :)
I have not taken cooking lessons at a restaurant but it sounds wonderful. Perhaps it would encourage me to like cooking a bit more LOL!!! My hubby actually does most of the cooking in our household - if it were up to me, we'd likely have the microwave special most nights!!! Sad, but totally true!
So pretty Mona! I love that big half circle in the sketch, you did a great job with it. I've never taken cooking lessons but it sounds like fun. I would love to do something like that!
