May Challenge!!!

I hope everyone is having a nice Spring and making a dent in their Christmas cards. 

Here's our challenge for May....Since April showers bring May flowers, let's use flowers on our cards this month along with ribbon(s) and button(s).

Check out these wonderful creations from our Design Team:

I want to play! (i love that there is a month to do these!!) I'll have a hard time with buttons, though! thanks for the fun challenge and all of the great samples!

I was a little worried when I first saw the challenge, but really had fun playing with it! And it's wonderful to be getting cards done as the year progresses rather than trying to get them all done in November! Now if I could only get going on addressing envelopes too!!
