I know this post is quick on the heals of the last post but I wanted to get this card up.  I have missed a couple of the 365 Card Challenges but I had a idea for today's card.

Today Challenge for 365 Card Challenge-Day 197 is Personal Playlist. Challenge Details:
"You know you have one - maybe it's classical you like, or even classic rock.  I have a mix on my playlist, but there's always a favorite (if only for a short while) at the top of it."

I jump all over the place with the music I listen too, right now one of my favorite songs is Dean Brody's - Little Yellow Blanket

I love the chorus:

Honey bees, a little lady bug
Squirrel behind a tree, hanging out with us
Gonna drink your sweet tea and a little cherry pie
On a little yellow blanket, just you and I.

I think it reminds me of growing up in a small town. So for the card I have a beautiful yellow background of sunflowers and a little honey bee.


My mom loved sunflowers, I don't ever recall a summer when they were not growing in the garden. It will be nine years tomorrow since we lost her to cancer. I miss her everyday, I made this card thinking of her and her sunflowers- the whole time with a smile on my face.

Supplies: Cream and Brown Cardstock, Designer Paper-PSX-Sunflower Montage, SVGCuts-Honey Bee, TPC Studio-Card Crafting Hello, Stampin' Up!-Antique brads.

Cheers,
Nina
