Happy Birthday

 
Happy Thursday and thanks for taking the time to visit the Charmed Life Blog. The days are getting a lot shorter. I just noticed that tonight. But, it is still warm and our flowers are still blooming. 
 
In fact, I was able to cut quite a few today and made a beautiful arrangement. I took them to a new neighbor along with some of our tomatoes and one of my cards. I wanted to welcome them to the neighborhood.
 
My hubby has already met them and I was way past due to introduce myself. She loved the flowers and asked if she could come over and take a look at the gardens. My hubby has our front and back yards looking so beautiful. He has quite a variety of flowers planted. I get to cut them and share with friends and family.
 
Now onto my card for today. This one I made for the design team call that Cheery Lynn Designs was having. I didn't make the team but I still liked the 3 cards that I submitted. Here is another.
 
I used the sketch #450 from Splitcoaststampers.  My background designer paper is from the Stampin-Up "greenhouse gala" collection-colors are peach parfait and pear pizzazz.
 
I layered over that a frame cut from the Cheery Lynn Designs die "arabian night" in peach parfait.

On the rectangle panels I used the same designer paper  and stamped a flower from the Stampin-Up  "nature walk " set in peach parfait. My birthday sentiment is from the MFP set "oopsy daisy".

I cut a flower from another Cheery Lynn Designs die and added a heart center.
To complete my card I used May Arts white mesh and layered some Stampin-Up  peach parfait ribbon.
 
Well that's it for me today. Time to dim the lights in Charmed Life Land for another day. So until next time.......God bless.

  1. Having fresh flowers to cut is such a treat. Ours are just gone now. I'm sure your new neighbors loved receiving them to brighten their home.
