House Mouse New Beginnings challenge

 This the card I made for the "New Beginnings" Challenge at House Mouse.  At first I couldn't think of any image I had that would work for this challenge, and then I saw Tracy's card which inspired me


http://tracy-countrymouse.blogspot.com/2013/01/new-beginnings.html.  Tracy, if you are reading this...I didn't realize what a copy cat I was till after I made my card and looked at yours again,  (Of course, Your card is much nicer)    My daughter will be starting a new job, and I know she needs some encouragement right now...  the transition has and will be difficult.  I want to let her know how proud I am of her.
The Link for this House Mouse challenge can be found here

 The flowers in the Pic above is a treat my husband gave me, over the weekend, I just remembered to take a pic today,  so they are starting to get a bit wilted, but I still think they are so pretty,  notice the color.  My favorite color!  No, it is not my birthday, nor is it our Anniversary.  I guess he gave the flowers to  me because he likes me...smile.  
Just a quick card I made...No snow here right now, but it sure is cold!

The card reads...
May your days be filled with Joy!
and I do hope...to anyone reading this post
that your days are filled with JOY!

Blessings,
Jill

  1. Your cards are both really cute, and I wish the best for your daughter. Change is scary, but since you made her a congratulations card, it must be a good change!

    The roses are beautiful, and they don't look wilted at all.

    It's been cold here all week too, below zero, and single numbers for the highs. We do have snow though.

    Your roses are making me think of spring!

  7. Cute HM card, and I just love that little brief case you added! Lucky you getting flowers for no special reason - they're gorgeous! And we won't talk about that "S" word in the forecast! I'll just say your snowman is a cutie pie ;)

  8. Love the flowers, love the snowman! Flowers for no reason are always welcome, however, snow is not! I was the same way with my HM image. Had used my new baby ones so often, I just wasn't feeling it. So I made my own kind of new.

  9. That is a wonderful and adorable card for your daughter. I sure hope things go smoothly (as much as they can) for her.

    Oh, I think your husband loves you. Those flowers are just beautiful in that soft pink.

    I love snowmen and yours is too cute. I thought we were going to get freezing rain here in Alabama today but, in my area, it is just rain. Yea!

    Have a fabulous weekend.
