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!

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!

Such a pretty card, anyone who is blessed to receive it, will truly treasure it :)

So much to love about this card Michele - I love the whimsical feel of the layered flower and the overall clean and fresh finish. You even manage to make your scraps look good lol!

What a sweet card Michele! I love your take on the sketch and of course the second helping! A fun color combo as well. Such a dainty little card and right up my alley. Now.....as soon as I can, those oval dies need to come live with me! I love that oval die!!! It's so fun and stands so well on it's own! Hugs, Brenda
