Today I have a simple card I made using the Spring Cottage cartridge. I just love this cartridge. They should make more cartridges with these types of images.
Speaking of flowers, did any of you plant a flower garden this spring? I planted some beautiful hydrangeas in big pots (because Texas soil is terrible) and am in love with their big purple blooms. I just know heaven is full of flowers!

Tulip is my favorite flower.
My all time favorite flower is the daisy!!! It is so perfectly beautiful. I use a lot of daisy's in my scrapbooking and card making. Happy Mothers Day to all out Moms!!!

love the stitching on the bow..and the embosing sets the scene for this beautiful flower card..
Fav FLOWER.. I have yet to find any that the chooks can not dig up or the goats, cows, sheep, possums can not eat..
Daffodils are stunning as they grow wild here and signify the first signs of spring. Tulips have to be high on the list also. Our Island growns some of the best tulips in the world .
That's a tough one, but right now with peonies in bloom I'm in love with their scent, it's so similar to a garden grown rose. Love the card.
My favorite flower has to be peony, just wish that they would last longer and not be so fragile

Cute card! Love the hyacinth, though it's definitely not my fav flower. That's the rose!
I like orchids. Very pretty card!!
Carol
Beautiful card, I would have to say a rose would be my favorite flower!
Lilies are a flower I chose long ago because of their coloring and beauty. I sent these to my Grandmother for an eternity it seems, her Birthday and Mother's Day were two of these times. She was blessed because her Birthday and Mother's Day often were on the same day and she would receive a double delivery of these beautiful flowers. Sadly she passed away just about 2 years ago and today is her birthday - the 9th of May. Interesting that idea to post the favorite flower came today, on her day. So it is the LILY! My favorite flower!
Vickie Shackett
I love all the details on this card--so pretty

I LOVE flower cards! They go with any theme! Gorgeous card! My favorite flower is a Lily. All kids, Calla, Stargazer, Day Lily. Love them all!
I have a few favorite flowers because they all have meaning to me, they represent people in my life that has made me who I am today. The dogwood for my late father, who always love the story behind it with strength. A glady for my momma who stands strong and true. The calla lily for my late grandma other in law who always had precious firm advice. And the rose which represent the love of my husband. Every time he returns from a deployment or an assignment over seas I'm always waiting for him with a dozen. :) love the paper on the card BTW.
I planted some impatients that are just blooming so well! I love this card too!
Melissa
Great looking card.

Pretty flower card. Especially like the green patterned paper you used. My fav flower is the Paul McCartney Rose I have. Yes, it is called a Paul McCartney Rose according to the tag it had when we bought it several yrs ago. It blooms a nice shade of pink/red & has a wonderful fragrance. A 1+ hr of upgrading my Gypsy last night & now I'm updating my Cricut so I can use the This & That Cricut cartridge I won from you last wk.

My favorite flower is the carnation! I would take those any day over roses!!
I like tulips, but I decorate cakes so idols say rose in the confectionary world. I would love this cart for doing things with my Cricut cake! It would be so cute;)
Oh wow, very nice card! Love the colors! My favorite flower is the Woodland Violet...I love the little flower they make and they multiply quite well...I have a bunch of them transplanted in my herb garden so when I get enough flowers I can make violet jelly ...very Victorian (probably tastes funny, but I've always wanted to make some). I use to have real hyacinths, but a rowdy gopher ate them all! Oh well....
Beautiful card! I also love hydrangeas!
Beautiful Card! My Favorite flowers are tiger lilies, sunflowers and violets. I can't decide between them!
great card, love it

Hydrangeas are my very favorite flowers, I have a lot of them planted around the outside of our house. I love both the pink ones and the blue ones. Thanks for giving away this great cartridge, I hope I win it for my future Grandchildren!!
Lovely card! My favorite flower is the hydrangea, as well. We had an enormous hydrangea bush in front of our previous home. I spent 8 years enjoying it! Our new home is practically devoid of flowers, (except for weeds). I will have to bring some hydrangeas in eventually!
Cute Card!

Wow the card is sooo pretty. I just can't decide what my favorite flower is and it seems to change as the season progresses- I think I might just love almost all flowers.
I love all flowers buy my very favorite flower is the Daisy. It is such a happy flower and always makes me smile. I keep a vase full of daisy's in my house all summer long. You can't help but be happy when you see them.
Love this card you made.

Absoultely beautiful!!! I love this card and love that flower!
Another beautiful creation!
We bought some rose bushes to plant but you're right Texas soil is pretty bad in places. They have not grown. My favorite flowers are orchids or lilies.
Pretty card! Think I'll have to give this cart another look. Wonder if there are tulips on it, that is my favorite flower.

Paula B. from Windsor, ON
That is a very pretty card. I love the flower and the white embossed paper. Snazzy.
Love to see the crocus. After the long Michigan winter, seeing them pop up as the first spring flower is wonderful.
I love geraniums. Have them on my front porch every summer!
I love hyacinth's...I have some purple ones in my garden!! They are so pretty...but so short lived!! I think they should create a hybrid that lasts for most of the summer!!!
Hard to pick one but yellow roses are very nice!
I love hyacinths too but i think my fav would have to be the rose.
Donna Margate Tas
I love carnations!
Daffodils and lilacs are my favs. They remind me of my momma.

Thanks for showing this card. I have that cart and didn't know that that flower was there.
Beautiful card! It is sooo hard to have a favorite flower since they are so pretty...maybe what is blooming at the moment..but seriously I have to say I have two fovorites..the daffodil....means Spring is here to me..and yellow is a favorite color and such a happy color...then the lilac...their scent is just a little heaven here on earth to me..
Love the dimension on this card (the bow is adorable.) My favorite flower is the hibiscus. It means summer is here!
Such a pretty card, I love the design with the embossed background - I always struggle with how the best way is to incorporate embossing into my cards more! My favorite flower is the classic rose!
Love your card, the colors, the embossing and the attention to detail!
I don't know how you continue to come up with wonderful projects...but I for one love your work! Thank you for the daily inspirations!
Very Cute!
