Mondays Mint Chocolate Chip Challenge

This is a quick card I made for the challenge at Paper Popsicles. They have made some changes to their Blog at What’s the Scoop and this is their first Challenge. So come play!!
I decided to go with the idea of the "Mint Chocolate Chip" in my card, so I have used Stampin Ups Chocolate chip Cardstock & Mint green Bazzill.I punched the white with Martha's border punch & then weaved ribbon thru it. I'm not a good stamper so it is what it is..LOL. I outlined the stamping with Stampin Ups Paper Piercing kit to make it look like I used my sewing machine on it.

A Butterfly's Home...

It is out in the sunshine
Where grasses grow tall,
And nod among lillies
To news the wind bring;
It is swung in the soft air,
Just over the blooms
Which are smiling and dancing.

This was my first time using the color room sketches & color palette. Definetly pushes me into trying something new.

The picture didn't take as well as I would like..I'm going to redo it tomorrow.

Magnolias in Bloom...

SOUTHERN LIFE

If you want a glimpse of Southern life,
Come close and walk with me;
I'll tell you all the simple things,
That you are sure to see.
You'll see mockingbirds and bumblebees,
Magnolia blossoms and dogwood trees,
Caterpillars on the step,
Wooden porches cleanly swept;
Watermelons on the vine,
Strong majestic Georgia pines;
Rocking chairs and front yard swings,
Junebugs flying on a string;
Turnip greens and hot cornbread,
Coleslaw and barbecue;
Fried okra, fried corn, fried green tomatoes,
Fried pies and pickles too.
There's ice cold tea that's syrupy sweet,
And cool, green grass beneath your feet;
Catfish nipping in the lake,
And fresh young boys on the make.
You'll see all these things
And much, much more,
In a way of life that I adore.
