Happy Gardener ~ TSOC

Hello friends!  I'm popping in today with a card I made for The Sisterhood of Crafters.  There's a new challenge starting today and the theme is "How Does Your Garden Grow?"

I don't know about you, but I love to be outdoors when the weather is good, even if I'm simply pulling weeds from the flower beds.  It's relaxing to me and peaceful.  Anyhoo, as you can see, I've chosen an older set from Ellen Hutson, to use on my card.  Would you believe I've had this Leading Ladies ~ Plant Lady for a couple of years and it's never seen ink??  

Don't judge me.  I know......
 I'm bad!  

I was cleaning and reorganizing in my craft room and found this happy gardener tucked away.  It's amazing what I can find when I start cleaning in there!    I've also used beautiful Berry Delightful printed paper from Stampin' Up!  The sentiment is from Elizabeth Craft Designs "Little Words That Mean A Lot".  

I hope you'll stop by The Sisterhood of Crafters blog and join us for this fun challenge.  I mean, who doesn't lover flowers, right??


Thanks for stopping by!

I am with you, I just love being outside and don't mind the pulling of weeds just to have something to do while outside. She is too cute and was just waiting for this challenge to come out and play :) Such a pretty background and love her boots! Terrific coloring!
