Hi everyone, today my creation is for Faith's challenge using the delicious 'strawberries' digi image, I'm always eager to use these freebies as, many a time my cards seem to fall into place very quickly and come together quite well. Red gingham is d/load from Creative Cottage now sadly closed down, the green is a d/load scrap, used my inexpensive scallop scissors along the bottom, sentiment from Personal Impressions stamp, gate is actually the back of the stable doors from Nikky's Polka Doodle Back to nature cd (love these cd's to bits, and now have quite a few wins of them), red flourish die cut from Spellbinders, ribbon from Crafty Ribbons, everything else from stash...now you might be thinking where are those strawberries???

Behind the garden gate...coloured with Promarkers and frosted lightly with glamour dust...yummy, yummy...don't they look delicious!

Challenges entered are many..Designed 2 Delight, Crafts & Me 'summer' as are PaperPlaytime, Crazy, Dream Valley, One stop Craft, Simon Says 'anything goes' as is OSAAT, MAWTT 'fave things'...these fabby images and Nikky's brilliant cd's, Digital Tuesday 'use 1 or more Spellbinders', I Love Promarkers '1 ribbon, 2 dp's (red and green strip), 2 brads/buttons,gems', Promarker 'gingham', Anything 'more than 1 fold', Kaboodle Doodle 'use those scissors', Stamps R Us 'throught the garden gate' as is Pollycraft 'great outdoors'. Craft Your Passion 'just for you', Rainbow Ladys 'stitching' as are Crafty Sentiments and Do You Stack Up. I've had lots of fun making this card, would also do for new home or just surprise 'hello' card. Thanks for visiting today.
