Hello friends and visitors it's time for a new challenge at
Allsorts where the optional theme, chosen by Gail, is
In the Garden (anything goes is also very welcome)
Two prizes of Lavinia stamps
Here is my contribution to the inspiration
I used a grey rubber LOTV stamp (and sentiment) for this little card. It's another very old set that I had shamefully forgotten all about. It was lovely to colour and I chose a favourite colour combo blue and Kraft. The papers are old and the cover missing but I think they might be Bo Bunny and Doodlebug Designs. For an added gardeny extra I added some bakers twine.
I have been on annual leave the past week and, my word, we've had ALL the weather. Frost, icy winds, rain and 23 degree sunshine too. We took a trip to the coast on Wednesday and it was glorious to enjoy an ice cream in shirt sleeves. We bought a new rambling rose, clematis and some shrubs to go in the borders, it was so good to get in the garden again. Speaking of which we would LOVE to see your garden themed cards/projects so hope that you will play along.
See you soon xx

Your card is so cute and beautiful, and a wonderful photo of the coast. Sounds like a great trip even though you had all the different types of weather. And some wonderful new plants for your garden too!
A fabulous in the garden stamp and card in a gorgeous colour combo. Nearly missed your post as it hasn't appeared in my feed
Sarah, your image is so sweet, and the sentiment so lovely!
So very sweet, love the little bird. The perfect sentiment for it too.
I love the spotty paper background, Sarah and the LOTV image is lovely. I haven't seen that one before and it goes perfectly in the colour palette you chose. I love the sentiment too! We had 4 seasons in one week too, and it looks like it's going to repeat this week! The coastal picture is making me yearn to see the sea.
Hope you are feeling good after your week off.
Hugs,

Lovely card, Sarah. I love beautiful garden scene and the background paper is just perfect.

Such asweet image Sarah, though not one I'm familiar with, must have passed me by ;). I agree about the crazy weather though, 4 seasons in one day here, went to the greenhouse after tea on Thursday and got pelted with hail!!
A super cute image Sarah and lovely sentiment. Even though it's been sunny here the last two days the wind is really cold.
Charming scene, Sarah, perfect for our theme too! x
You chose a good day for it Sarah, the sea looks so calm. You cute birdie image is perfect for our garden them.

Sweet little bluebird perched on the watering can
A very cute image and sweet sentiment too. You have created a lovely card which would be gratefully received by anyone.
Thank you for visiting my blog recently, I have been rather MIA, especially over the past few months, only posting my fortnightly DT challenge post. I haven't had a great time health-wise with several things one after the other including Shingles but hopefully I'm on to better times now.
Glad that you enjoyed your week's break and hope you are keeping well.

Delightful happy card and image. The weather in Cornwall has been everything in one week too - nature doesn't know if its coming or going.
