Dreamy Peony ~ MMSC50

Hello!!!! It's been a couple weeks since I've had a card to share with all of you. I'm happy to be getting back into the swing of things after a roller coaster couple of weeks. My dad's in the hospital for at least three more weeks for physical therapy, but seems to be doing well, so I can rest easy for a while. If you or anyone you know is suffering from Peripheral Artery Disease, please, please, please get treatment! It's a silent disease, but you could lose a limb like my dad did and it's life threatening!!! I'm so thankful that my dad is still with us. I only wish we had known he was suffering with this disease before it went so far.

Here is my card for this week's Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge.
Isn't this the most Perfect Peony?! You can find it at McMahon 5 Designs. I had so much fun coloring, cutting and layering it. Then I added lots of bling by using my MS butterfly punch, Diamond Stickles and Pearls from Basic Grey. And I'm still completely in love with this Basic Grey Kioshi Paper too! :)
And now, we have an exciting announcement for you! We would like to introduce two fabulous ladies joining our Design Team this week. They are both extremely talented and will bring a new and fresh approach to the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. If you have never visited their blogs before or seen their work, we encourage you to do so. You will be amazed by their creative talents! Before we get into our weekly details,
PLEASE HELP US IN WELCOMING.....

JESSICA GEORGE

"My obsession with card making began innocently enough about 3 1/2 years ago when my dear husband suggested I find a hobby; little did he know how this 'hobby' would grow! I'm blessed to have a wonderful family -- including three beautiful daughters -- who are (usually) tolerant of the space and time my hobby occupies. I'm very excited to work with these amazingly talented ladies on the Midnight Madness Sketch challenge Design Team because I have admired their fabulous creations since the very beginning post. My own creations tend towards a more Clean and Simple style, so it won't be difficult to spot my cards for the next couple of months!" Jessica

"I started making cards about 9 months ago, so I am still thinking of myself as a newbie in this card making and blogging world. I love to try out new techniques and look for new ways to use my stamps and embellishments.

I live in Kristiansand, Norway together with Marcus, his two kids, Helene and Sebastian, and our three cats. I have a bachelor degree in literature and work part time at a library. I am very excited about this DT membership and am looking forward to seeing what you all will make during this time. I know you will give me a lot of inspiration, and I hope that I can give you some too." Gunn

Now to our challenge...

Once again, it's "YOUR PICK" Make it fancy, clean and simple, or somewhere in-between.

"YOUR CHOICE"

Enter one style or both this week.
