You're my best BUD!


Hi friends!

I have a Technique Tuesday card on a Tuesday! :)
I love love LOVE flower images!
They are such ethereal beauties ~
adorning the ground with sprinkles of colors that delight the senses!

My birth month is March 
(my birthday is this week - already?! I'm still 29, I hope! Tee hee!)
and my flower is the daffodil!
 

 I fell in love with Technique Tuesday's birthday stamps
and added them to my collection some time ago.
I've spotted several of the Fresh Peonies cards on Facebook
in the Technique Tuesday group so I took a closer look!

AND!!!!!
Decided to join the Greenhouse Society's monthly flower subscription.
At the beginning of each month, TT releases a brand new flower stamp
 (and matching die, should you chose it)
so it's like a surprise each month in your mailbox!
It was this line in the description that totally sold me ...
"Using these flower stamps and matching dies, you can create a garden of beautiful, handmade cards!"

Oh. the. vision!  

So I went back and ordered from the beginning of this year, 2019
and I'll post them in order.
This is the January flower ~ the daffodil or Beautiful Narcissus.
Special thank you to Shelley who patiently and sweetly answered all my emails :)

Here is my CAS card (or Clean and Simple) ↓


My mum was born and raised near London, England 
and has the most amazing green thumb!
I can remember every year, she grew amazing gardens
and knew exactly just what to plant, when and how.
We moved so often, but as soon as we did - I'd find the library,
and she'd start a'plantin!
 I remember throwing open our upstairs bedroom windows
and the smell wafing up from the fresh flowers planted below ~
a memory etched forever in my mind ♥
One year - she *thought* it would be a good idea to get some fresh
     uh ...
manure from the local farmers. 
Except ........ she didn't tell us!
Not the best of times to throw the windows open!
LOL!!
 At least on our cards, we can color pretty flowers 
and they'll be perfect - and odorless *wink!*
Lastly, here's a fun fact for you about my beautiful birth month flower:
*This popular and easy to grow flower salutes spring with a burst
 of possible colors – white, cream, soft yellow or bright yellow as well 
as orange, pink and even lime-green.
I think the lime green would be one gorgeous flower!

 Thanks for stopping by today on this terrific Tuesday!
Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

  5. Oh how that bought back a memory for me Kelly, my dad always used Manure in the garden each year to help the veggies grow. I can remember the smell to this day (he always said if you couldn't eat it, it wasn't worth growing). Such a beautiful card and I hope that you have a wonderful birthday.

  13. So very Pretty! I'm glad you have fond memories of your Mum and gardening... I have a terrible black thumb (as I like to call it) because I can't seem to grow anything or keep it alive for very long... It's a good thing I'm better with people otherwise my boys would have never survived being around me!! Hahahahaha Have a beautiful day!
