Our Little Lady Bug!

TGIF. Thank Goodness it's Friday. We all know the expression.....we probably all USE the expression (at least sometimes!) I know for a fact everyone looks forward to their weekend, even if it's not in the traditional sense....It might be a Monday/Tuesday because you work on Saturday/Sunday, but we all look forward to our time off; our time to reflect, and be with those that we choose to spend our time with! Well today is the day.....TGIF!!! The beginning of the weekend, and today in particular is a very important Friday. Most call it Good Friday, but I like to think of it as the Ultimate Friday. Its a day to focus, remember, reflect on, and feel blessed for what we've been given. The ultimate sacrifice was made, and although it can be a somber day, there is no need to stay sad, as Sunday is coming!! Along with the joy of celebrating the reason for this holiday, (the death and resurrection of Jesus) comes the family time. There is eating and visiting...hunting for eggs quite possibly too, and the general celebrating that comes with most of our traditional holidays. I hope however you choose to celebrate this occasion, you do it it with love in your hearts for those who are close to you. Enjoy your family and friends, and the appreciation that spring is here... (despite the lack of some evidence depending on where you live! haha.)

In our neck of the wood, there was some snowfall this week. AGAIN! We saw the whole ground covered one morning, but by the next day, there was a sign of hope! My first robin sighting, and my first flower sighting appeared on the same little stroll. It made me soooo very happy :) So happy, I just HAVE to share it with you!

This little flower sighting, was so encouraging, that I came right home and started on my photo shoot for this week's post! Something else involving flowers, and birds, and even LADY BUGS!!!

This card was created for Charlette's Third Birthday party, but it can be made personally for the little Lady Bug in your life too! It's only $16.00 dollars for a set of 12 printed invitations, with white envelopes, or $15.00 for the printable file. This price includes all personalization and a proof within 24 hours. All invitations are printed on a professional printer on high quality cardstock. If you want colour envelopes, an upgrade fee of $9.00 will be added onto your order. It will arrive to you 5-7 days after purchase!

It was so much fun to put together the theme for  photographing this invitation. Inspired by my stroll, I thought of trees, flowers (of course), birds and picnics....and of course, some of my most favourite colours. 

 Whether your little one's birthday will be indoors or out, this invitation is the beginning of a beautiful occasion! You can use simple brown Kraft paper, or burlap, (or go more fancy with pretty fabric table cloths.) Use white or colourful pennants or banners, every day garden items, and other simple pieces to create a wonderful garden theme for your little "lady bug" to celebrate her birthday in a way you will always remember!

 As always, thanks for stopping by! Be blessed today, and remember Cardmint as your first step in creating the perfect occasion for all of the special events in your life. Visit Cardmint on Etsy, and don't forget to check out our pins on Pinterest, and follow us on Instagram and Facebook!
