Morning Peeps, well it's rained solidly for what seems like forever and my in house weather man, aka Hubby tells me we've had over 4.75 inches in the last few days. So I thought I would lighten the mood with some photos when I had a wander around the gardens when last it was dry. Also to keep the floral theme going some of my samples using the stamps from Keeley's Garden 1 which Pete of Artisan Design will be showcasing on Hochanda on 21st June.
As with all Pete's previous releases, there are lots of inspirational sentiments
Holly posing.....she does it so well
A Bee collecting it's nectar right inside one of the Digitalis trumpets
Jemima (her mate Puddleduck was sadly 'Foxed' a few weeks ago) and Donald, one of the brood of abandoned baby Mallards we took in from the RSPCA last year
My finished samples
Have a good Tuesday everyone and do remember to make a note of the date Pete will be abck on our screens.
Oh Brenda, qui abbiamo un'ora sole e un'ora pioggia, continuamente, ogni giorno... Così diverso dal solito! I cambiamenti climatici si fanno davvero sentire ovunque nel mondo! Speriamo che la natura non soffra troppo e che trovi il modo di adattarsi per sopravvivere. Le piante del nostro orto stanno crescendo male, solo quelle in serra sono rigogliose, ma la serra è piccola. Speriamo che il tempo migliori...
ReplyDeleteAmo guardare le foto del tuo paradiso, le tue piante e i tuoi animali! Che meraviglia!!! Di certo hai tantissime ispirazioni per i tuoi lavori craft, e si vede!!! :D
Favole cards, colori stupendi e bellissimi sentiments!!! Non posso scegliere una preferita! :) Quella ghirlanda di foglie a forma di cuore è un vero spettacolo!!! Grande ispirazione!
Abbracci!!
A beautiful collection of samples there Brenda and a wonderful walk around your gorgeous flowers and garden. The foxglove is amazing, mine is looking a little battered by the rain at the moment. On the plus side Hubby laid some turf in one spot of our garden last week, at least he's not having to run out and water it while we have this weather.

I So enjoyed reading your post. What amazing samples and tons of inspiration, thank you....Such beautiful cards x. Lovely photos of your beautiful flowers, animals (so very sorry about Jemima) and love the bee x. Yes it does seem ages since it was dry...Let's hope Summer comes soon x
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so sorry about Jemima, poor thing. Donald looks very handsome and Holly is adorable and posing beautifully. You'll notice I comment first on the critter, lol.
ReplyDeleteYour selection of cards are wonderful, beautifully designed and coloured. Pete's artwork is wonderful.
Your flowers are soooo beautiful, you must be so green fingered...and pink nailed, which are fab, keep well, Kate x
Lovely selection of cards and loved the stroll round your garden. Mr Fox over the years helped himself to most of our birds. Rained here for most of the last three weeks, totally fed up with it now, heating on here which is nothing new, it's only June!!

Beautiful cards with some gorgeous images and designs.
ReplyDeleteFabulous photo's of the garden and the animals, poor Jemima, nature can be so cruel at times.
Like Sandra I have been in jumper since coming back from holiday, and you would not believe the hailstones we had last weekend, heating on every evening the past few days. Would you please tell the weather that it is June up North too.

Wow! Brenda, you are so efficient with your crafting time, and with the lovely creations you make! These are all gorgeously designed with beautiful flowers! Speaking of flowers, thanks for the tour of floral close-ups from your garden. WOW! ANNUALS do not grow that lushly here. I am smitten by your ruffled pink petunias trimmed in white! Amazing! hugs, de

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful selection and you are right it does need some brightening up with all this rain. Everyone a gorgeous card and your lovely doggy too.
ReplyDeleteI love your foxglove, mine only ever opened partly so never got a full bloom like this all in one go. Then we got rid of them when we had a dog due to the poison aspect.
Very nice cards
