Mum's the Word ~ NBUS #149

Good Moftering!

That's my new word melding morning, afternoon, and evening. You know, because it's all kinds of different times of the day around the world when you read this. It might even be night, in which case you should be sleeping.

Like a lot of you, I have a challenge list as long as your leg that I want to play in each week and only so many days in said week. But then every once in a while a challenge will enter your visersphere and you'll not be able to get it out of your head, no matter what else you have goinon.

That happened to me this week with the inspiration photo from The Card Concept. I'm Frank Lee Surprised that there aren't 1312 entries in the gallery. Afraid I'd miss it, I hung up on my sister and left the potatoes boiling on the stove to make this hot little clean and layered number:

I adore that sediment font. It's from SU "Word Play." The blossoms are both NBUS. They are from Memory Box. The big one is "Prized Chrysanthemum Outline" and the small one is a double bloom made from one of the flowers in the "Glorious Gerber Daises" and one of the flowers in the "Fancy Potted Flower." The tiny flower embellie and flower centers are from SU. The double framed white PTI card was die-cut with "Stitched Rectangles" from Lil' Inkers.

Here is the inspiration photo:

All that white space, that headboard, the beautiful starfruit color. Yummo. But, okay, there's just, if I can just ask you, is it just me and the hamster, or do you want to flip those pillows on the right side of the bed so that the room is more balanced? Coz me and the hamster were sitting here drooling over the photo and then I glanced over at him and his head was cocked over his left shoulder as if the room were leaning and then later he looked over at me and I was doing the same thing. And Hammy wouldn't mind a matching nightstand on the right, too, please. Don't get us wrong, it's still gorge and it inspired me to make one of my favorite cards.

Here are the cards the boys made us this weekend. (Papa put his back out, so that's the reason for the get well card.)

They do love that Washi tape!
