The Flower Challenge "Pretty Pastels"

 Hello dear blogging friends: Every time I post on my blog, I'm hoping and praying you and your families are doing well, keeping each other safe and wearing your masks.

My  hubby and I got our first Covid-19 shot on Thursday March 18th., and I'm happy to report that, aside from the sore arm where the nurse injected us, we didn't have any adverse effects to the vaccine, we go back for our second shot on April 14th.  We belong to the 60+ age group, he'll be 67 in August and I'll be 70 in September, YIKES!!!!!

This is beautiful, Maria! All the colors of your pretty floral design are perfect for welcoming spring, which we all long for. Thank you for bring sunny colors to my gray early morning Easter Sunday! And congratulations on getting your first vaccines and having your second one scheduled. It is so uplifting and hopeful to get them both! Hugs, Darnell

Beautiful card with the gorgeous flower and leaves. Wonderful framing of this Spring card, Maria! Congrats on getting your first vaccination and soon you'll have your second. It's a relief! xx

I’ve always loved this card layout! Perfect for using our papers and diecuts with our beautiful “stamps” or in this case beautiful digital to color! Winner!

Bravo on the vaccine! The yellow flower is creative sunshine!

I just got my second shot Saturday and no ill effects either, Maria. I love how that beautiful oval lets you use such wonderful patterned paper behind your sweet little blossom.

This flower digi is beautiful and I love your coloring! You all are making these digis very tempting. Such a beautiful card, Maria! I'm so glad you're on the road to immunization. Rich and I get our second shots on the 18th - yay!

Maria you've chosen the most wonderful pastel shades of orange possible! Love the greenery, too - looks like sweet pea tendrils to me!
So happy you've gotten your first vaccine! I'm all set to go now! Tom is waiting for shot #2!
