My card today is one of the new Emerald Faerie images and this is the first week of the challenges and it is anything goes. I used some floral paper in the background, a few flowers in the corner and a MS punched butterfly I glittered up. A little lace edging and a purple bow and we are done. I really need to work on the placement of my flowers, might need to put one in the left bottom corner to balance it out a bit.
I also wanted to share a neat way I came up with to store my paper flowers. I was lying in bed the other night and you know how your mind wanders. Well, I was trying to think of a better way to organize them cause right now the way I have them it is awkward to get to them and difficult to see what I have. I remembered Michaels has these plastic photo storage boxes. It is a case that holds 12 4x6 x1.25 inch photo storage boxes inside of a larger case and I thought those would be perfect to put my flowers in. So I picked one up today and sorted all my smaller flowers and this is what I came up with.
I am pretty happy with it. It is on sale this week and I believe it was about $25 but it is holding almost all of the flowers I have. They are easy to get to, easy to see what I have and what I need. Doesn't take much to make me happy sometimes. My husband might disagree but what does he know?! Let me know what you think.

Gorgeous card Amanda, love the image and the lace ribbon is fab! You did make me laugh when you said you were laying in bed thinking about storing your flowers! I do that as well, and sometimes I need to get up to try what I was thinking!! Pami x
Hi Amanda. Let me just say how much I love your coloring on this card. What a great color combo and it is just too adorable. Great job my friend. I also have to tell you that about 2 years ago our Staples had that exact photo storage on clearence for $2.50 so I bought the 3 that they had. I have one that I keep my stamps in at the moment and then gave my DD and BFF the others. What a great idea for your flowers. I am going to have to change my over to your idea. I really love it. Have a great Friday. Hugs, Lisa
Wow, I love your fab coloring and the blue highlight behind really makes it pop! Cool storage idea too!
