Welcome sunshine ...

Hello friends, the weekend is finally here and after these past waterlogged days ... I welcome the sunshine.  Forecasts predict blue skies and perfect temperatures for the next couple days.  Just what I need to catch up on my gardening.  My son, a young Marlin Perkins (I'm dating myself), is looking forward to all of the digging and planting.  I must admit,  I am too.

The Moxie Fab World blog has a Tuesday Trigger this week that I absolutely love.  The colors are so soft and the title "A Lovely Lullaby" perfect for the photo.  Just look at these gorgeous shades of blue, gray,  yellow and vanilla ... what's not to love?


My project began with Very Vanilla card stock and layers of pretty prints in shades of blues with some gray polka dots.  Those sweet little baby quails following their mother?  From the Happy Together stamp set.  The greeting is a new favorite ... Happy Greetings.  I love it!  A bit of lace, a button, and I'm almost done ...


 The seam binding is dyed in So Saffron Classic Ink.  A white felt flower with a cheery yellow center (a bit stronger than the inspiration) was added just because it makes me smile.  The pin is a Viola original.


Thanks for stopping by and spending some time with me...I enjoy your visits!

    Joanne you sure know how to nail a challenge :)
    And as usual; you make me sigh and stare. There are so many gorgeous details on your card. That birdie stamp is a cutie and your choice of papers is spot on. And I am ALWAYS in awe of your bows.
    This is so gorgeous!

    I also Have to catch up with gardening; there are a few days coming up with lots of sun and higher temperatures; perfect to spend a lot of time outside!
    Have a wonderful weekend!
