Bulb planting

Yes it's that time of the year when we need to think about planting our spring bulbs. This is my selection for this year.

I emptied a couple of my pots at the weekend

 which had finished flowering

I gave them a good scrub with some washing up liquid

A good rinse and they were ready to pot up.

I love tucking in my bulbs, the compost is like a blanket to keep them snug as they quietly grow away over the next 4 months.

Here is one of my posts in place. I shall keep an eye out for when I start to see any new shoots of life. 

My card challenge today is flower inspired and is the second card I recently made using more papers from the wonderful Crafters Companion paper pad I won.  I emailed this to them to share on their Facebook page. I also added a tiny version of my favourite Nicecrane floral digi images which is  available here

I added a glittery pink (gulp yes I did!) backing card and some various die cuts and finished of with some faux stitching and some glitter. There is even a little butterfly spreading it's wings. The tags are LOTV.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;

Country View  add some texture

I am trying to get up to date with my Funkie Junkie challenges so I will be back on Friday to share #2 with you. Thanks for visiting me and thanks for the great comment you left on my Man in The Moon post on Monday. I'm glad you liked him as I loved making that card.

Back very soon,

Bye for now,
