Seconds for FMS #579 and first helpings for JUGS #673

Happy Saturday, my friends!  I've gotten so used to making cards for the JUGS team I thought I would just keep them coming! ha!

My friend Bobby's choice of colors for JUGS #673 - terra cotta and green - just happened to be among that little pile of snippets on the corner of my desk - LOve when that happens...


You'll have to trust me on those colors - such a gloomy day here!  The little bloom
is cut from 'rusty' cardstock from The Stamp Market, along with two of their wonderful greens.  My sweet little garden is another snippet I found in the Pinkfresh Edger packaging - I promise it's green!

Here's a different view...



Pinkfresh's Braided Oval dies were out to play with another card - why not make all of this come together for Second Helpings for FMS579?  I'm sure Jen T will not mind at all [wink].  Why in the world I can't seem to get that sentiment in the right spot is beyond me!

My sweetie is on vacation next week so who knows when we might just have to take a little road trip?  Or where we might end up?  Who cares?  We'll have fun, I can guarantee it!

  1. Great colors and cute flower die! All the braided dies remind me of paper plates. In this case a platter... serving up spring! I hope you two have a great adventure next week. I love a road trip!
