Flower Slider Card

First, I wanted to share this picture of one of my lilies.  This is such a beautiful color, not sure what the name of it is but it is simple beautiful. July is lily month and it has been fun watching and waiting for my lilies to bloom.  I have yellow, orange, deep red, peach, tiger and this one below.

This lily has a velvety feel to the bloom. Just gorgeous!  Wish lilies would bloom all summer!!

I made this card for my friend, Mary.  Her birthday was yesterday and I saw this card on pinterest and thought is was ideal.  I think I have made one of these before but it has been a while and wanted to give it a try again.  If you want the directions for this slider card with Dawn just  click here.  It isn't hard at all.  The stamp set is from SU, it is an old one called "All wrapped up". I put the sentiment on the back of the card.   I did more stamping on this card which I haven't done in a while too. A bonus is that it fits fine in a regular envelope for mailing. Thanks for stopping by.

First Day of Spring

Hidden Crocuses

Today is the first day of spring and there is no snow in sight. It is such a beautiful and gorgeous day here in the Northeast.  The temperature today is 72 degrees and it is expected to reach 80 by Thursday.  I was at my sister's house earlier in the week and we found some very pretty crocuses peeking through some ornamental grass.  They are such a pretty violet color.  I have found some hostas starting to come up and some lilacs that are starting to bud.  It is so early for spring here - we are all dumbfounded that it can be some beautiful so early in the season.  And yes, we are thankful. 

Certainly spring!

Another one of my sisters was here visiting this weekend and she brought me this gorgeous bouquet. I am recovering from some surgery and she brought this spring bouquet to brighten my day which she did.  Thanks Adrianne! Perfect spring bouquet!!!
