How Does Your Garden Grow

Welcome to this months Control Freaks Blog Hop where we are featuring our favorite plants and flowers.  You may just be starting or you may be arriving from the charming blog of Cindy Elam...either way, be sure to hop all the way through to see what we have in store for you today!

Next to stamping, my other favorite hobby is my flower garden.  I have an entire corner of my yard dedicated to flowers and I look forward to working in in every spring and summer!

The new So Refreshing stamp set is so cute!  I always love a pitcher full of lemonade, but a pitcher full of flowers is just as good!  

I stamped the pitcher in Smoky Slate and added some stamped off Pool Party water.  The flowers were stamped right into the pitcher!  The Granny Apple Green stems and Calypso Coral blooms are just gorgeous!  I stamped one more set of flowers to lay across the cute Lost Lagoon table cloth...I love this die cut element!

I wanted a simple little sentiment to tie around the pitcher and the For You from Country Bouquet was just perfect!

Love That We Are Friends

Welcome to another fabulous Monday Montage blog hop!  We have so many amazing creations to share with you, so make sure you don't miss a single stop!

I'm not sure how the weekend is already over!  They always go by so fast, especially when you have a weekend full of activities and events.  Thanks so some cold, wintery weather that rolled in and a quiet Sunday afternoon, I still had some time to stamp, which always makes for a good weekend. 

I just recently added the Country Floral Lane suite to my collection and I'm so happy I did!  The floral patterns in the Country Floral Lane DSP are so pretty, but the flip side of each of those patterns are my favorite, especially these Sweet Sorbet stripes!

I stamped the larger floral heart image in Sweet Sorbet and Pear Pizzazz and fussy cut the heart shape.  The cute striped heart was stamped in Sweet Sorbet and the smaller heart was stamped in Petal Pink and punched out with the Country Bouquet Punch.

A couple of Pear Pizzazz leaves and a Mossy Meadow spring were tucked behind the sentiment, which was embossed on Evening Evergreen.  I don't use a ton of ribbon, but I love this Burlap Ribbon and had to use it!  I wrapped it around the largest Stylish Shapes circle and secured it with a white Baker's Twine bow.  So cute! a few of the Pastel Sequins added just the right amount of bling to complete the card.
