Hello friends ... welcome back to my blog!
Here in Ohio & Western Pennsylvania, June is Strawberry Season!
And OMG are they delicious!!! My mouth is watering just thinking about them ... lol.
So with that being said, you can imagine how much fun today's card was to create!
My design layout today comes from the sketch offered over on the Sunday Stamps Blog - SSC388 Layered Up - ends 06/26.
I'm also entering this card into the challenges at:
Inspiration Station June Challenge #86 - photo inspiration (ends 07/04)
Farm Quest Grocery Game #30 - ATG with Food and/or Drink (ends 07/15)
The paper pad used today is an old pad which only had a few pages left but luckily just enough for this card design. I've had this pad for so long I can't even remember where I got it and there's no 'company' name on it ... but is titled 'Cherries The Cutest' . Oh wait, there was a number on the back and when I did a search on that number it comes up on the Inloveartsshop.com site.
The sentiment is a stamp & die set from Pink Fresh called 'Perfect Sentiments'
I had to cut a strip off the background sheet to fit my A6 card size and at the last minute I decided to fussy cut the strawberry that were available on that panel and use them on the top panel of my card. I'm quite happy with the outcome ... what do you think? I popped up a couple and left the others flat.
I hope you've enjoyed today's card share!
Have a WONDERFUL day and please stop back again tomorrow!
As always . . .
Oh Darlene, everything about this card is beautiful and delish :-) I love the papers you used on this fabulous sketch! Such a happy card!

Homegrown strawberries are the best! The ones you get in the stores just don't compare so thank goodness for farmers market! What a cute card! I love the paper and you sure made good use of it!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute and yummy, I missed homegrown Michigan strawberries once again this year, what's wrong with me as they are just a hop, skip and jump away from me to pick!!
ReplyDeleteVery juicy!!! Late May to mid- June is central Illinois' strawberry season!!! My mom always talked about my birth (14th) interrupting her planned amount of strawberries to freeze. She got some but not enough for her and my dad to enjoy as much as she wanted for a year!!! Strawberries in gelatin. Strawberries with angel food cake. Strawberries over ice cream. etc. Your card is gorgeous! Very yummy looking! The dark green cardstock is just making the red strawberries look very luscious!! Thanks for sharing this card with FarmQuest Grocery Game Challenges!
ReplyDeleteYUM! what a cute card. I have a strawberry patch and need to go check them. I really like how you used the sketch on this. Thanks for playing over at Sunday Stamps.
ReplyDeleteso cute, great summer time card, I like the fussy cutting of the strawberries and the way you used them!
