Kelly is this month's hostess for the Divas, and Jeanette is May's hostess for the Dazzlers. They came up with a unique theme - "Bargain Hunters"! Kits this month were made with items they obtained as bargains: clearance sales, discount shops, second hand, etc.
Here's what Jeanette included in the kit:
Image & Sentiment: Sparkle 'N Sprinkle Happy Flowers (purchased at a going out of business sale) stamped on Recollections 110# card stock, purchased with a coupon and Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
Designer Paper from Recollections Home Basics Paper Pad, purchased during a 40% off sale :0
Ribbons/Fibers: Amuse from Jeanette's days as a Demo with her discount.
Baker's Twine from Target Dollar Spot.
Classic Traditions Satin Ribbon from Michael's clearance.
Floral Gardens Grosgrain Ribbon and Offray Crochet Thread, both from a thrift store.
Embellishments: Dollar Tree Puffy Dots.
Her Grandma's buttons!! (like my Grandma, Jeanette's always cut buttons off of old clothes before discarding them).
Paper Studio Brads 50% off at Hobby Lobby.
Paper Studio Heart Charm, 75% off at Hobby Lobby.
Sequins from a thrift store.
Here's a view of the inside panel:The only thing that I used that was not in the kit is the bright yellow card stock for the base. The sentiment was colored with a marker from Stampin Up.
Jeanette, thank you for such a fun image and a unique and fun theme!!
Well, I'm off to visit the creations of the Divas and other Dazzlers. Always great cards to admire!

Darlene, your card is gorgeous! I love that you didn't color each bloom the same color - very creative! And speaking of creative, look at your design...there's so much to admire! Impressive!
Beautiful card, Darlene! I like the use of your papers. Nice touch using part of the paper to make a banner! Love the combination of flower colors. Beautiful spring card!
