Fairy Belle Love

I'm still working 

with Prima's Fairy Belle Collection and I'm entering today's card at the Word Art Wednesday Challenge #33. I really cut this one close as it ends on Tuesday. Check out the Design Team and Guest Designer's projects... fabulous!

 I added the Deuteronomy 

verse to the inside of my card because I wanted all of 32:2 through 4. Here it is...

I cut a doily with

the Alterations Vintage Doily Die and topped it with a 4inch paper one from my stash. I sponged Tattered Rose Distress Ink on the edges as well as on all the papers.

The crocheted lace

is by American Crafts and the ribbon from Michaels. The pearl baubles and mini paper clip are Ideaology, the heart trinket pin is by Maya Road and the flat-backed pearls are by Queen & Co. The feathers are from a mixed package I purchased at Hobby Lobby.

Deuteronomy 32:2-4

A few more shade garden  photos...

Looks like the old

clubhouse needs a coat of paint. It's funny in that this house was for our kids, but they didn't play in it that much. Now the grandkids are doing the same. The most expensive toys seem to be the least used ones. At least Cassidy likes hanging around it!

Thanks for the visit!

Hugs!

Another Time After Time Entry

I broke out my

Prima Fairy Belle Collection papers and chipboard die-cuts and ended up making another card to enter in City Crafters Challenge #114... Time After Time. The challenge is to use a clock somewhere on your project.

This has a kraft cardstock

base and ivory textured cardstock mat. I used my paper distresser on the edges as well as Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink.

The trinket pins are by 

Maya Road, the ribbon is from Michaels and the lace is Webster's Pages. I again used my Alterations Vintage Doily... the most used die I have at the moment.

This clock is another

from that package by Prima... LOVE these! I added a Teresa Collins brad to the center (cut off the tabs and glued in place). The jewels on the corners are by TPC Studio.

Now for a few photos...

Introducing baby Faith

to my craft room... I have to get her geared up for future hours she will spend in here.

The shade garden

is looking it's best right now with daylilies opening everywhere.

The lawn, however,

isn't doing as well... just not enough rain here this year.

How about joining

me for a cold lemonade or a cup of tea? I love it out here.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs!

Garden Beauties

The Penmaker and I aren't feeling

real chipper today. All we've done is sleep, sit and drink tea. This presents a fine opportunity to show you some of our daylilies that are opening.

For as the earth bringeth forth her bud,

and as the garden causeth the things

that are sown in it to spring forth;

so the Lord GOD will cause

righteousness and praise

to spring forth

before all the nations. Isaiah 61:11

I received this beautiful card from Kristy,

who I am so happy to call my blogging buddy. All who know her will agree that she is a sweet, talented, kind hearted, thoughtful, and hard working lady.

Thank you, Kirsty. I treasure this card and 

will put it in a place of honor so I can show it off and say I have a Kirsty Vittetoe original!

Have a wonderful day, friends!

The Shade Garden

I'm working on a graphics project for a friend

right now and haven't had time to create anything... paperwise.

So I ran to the shade garden and

snapped a few photos. Thought you might enjoy looking at our day lilies that are all about to bloom.

I haven't gotten many annuals planted

this year... the wheel barrel is still empty. It's normally overflowing with pink impatiens. 

This is my favorite piece.

Our dog Cassidy strikes a pose while trying to

scare up a snake or two.

Hope you all have a great week. Will be back

as quick as I can... maybe I can finish up tonight!
