Hey Hey! Longfellow, anyone? :) I love, love English + American Lit ~ I took those classes as electives in school/undergrad college when my friends were busy with pompoms and boyfriends :) {yes, we're all still friends, and my nose is still buried in a book all the time!} :) I thought this small quote would be a perfect addition to my flower card that I put together for this Wednesday's FBD Challenge!
My card for you today is using Fresh Brewed Designs Flower Mug! It's so fresh and fun, I couldn't wait to make a vibrant card to bring in the beauty of spring :) You can find sooo many digis available here in the store - so many of them are less than a cup of coffee! And the challenge this week? Use 2 or more embellishments - I went with ribbon, brads, buttons! The small flower on the coffee card is paper pieced to match, and I propped it up using 3D dots.
the inside poem reads:
"Kind hearts are the gardens;
kind thoughts are the roots;
kind words are the flowers;
kind deeds are the fruits."
Blessings to you!
