My next flush of tulips are now in flower
and yes the blinds have come up, the windows cleaned and
new shelves to fill (put up over the winter by my darling HB)
My challenge card is something very springly and fun...
The stamp is from my buddy Kerry and her sadly no longer trading Ladybug Crafts Ink. I love this sheep and her lamp..so cute. I gave them a fluffy coat and a gem for Mum's flower ;0) The papers are ancient from my stash. The egg die and cloud is Memory Box, the frame Noor and the sentiment stamp is Clearly Besotted.
My card was made for the following challenges;
Dies R Us 2/2 Easter
Allsorts bring on the bling
Crafty calendar April showers/ spring
Simon says work it Wednesday 3/3 spring
Crafty friends animals or birds
Cute Card Thursday 1/3 Easter

Crafty Catz anything goes/Easter
Crafty Hazelnut's patterned paper challenge anything goes
So you can guess where I'm heading now...yes back out to my sunny garden with a cuppa. Tomorrow I am off to the Ally Pally Stamping Show in London to catch up with my blogging buddy Brenda Brown and to see Helen and Mark and their amazing Visible Image stand. I am so proud to see my cards on their awesome display. If you are going do say hi!
Have a sun filled weekend and thanks for stopping by. I will be back next week with 2 posts with photos from Ally Pally!
Back soon,
Bye for now,

My tulips are just beginning to flower now and I even have some bluebells out. Yes spring is definitely here at last. I was going to go to the Ally Pally but I have had 3 busy days out this week and need to recharge my batteries. A must for next year though as I missed Farnborough too due to family commitments. I just love those woolly sheep on your card. So cute. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks like Eden! And it's so fun to see your studio open and ready for action. Love your card... I sent Easter cards to all six of my grandkids. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your creative space. Mine currently looks like a disaster. I really like your bird tag :)
ReplyDeletewhat a great garden craft room! just got back from Ally Pally it was fab! have fun tomorrow.

A real fun bright and cheery Easter creation Jane, many thanks for sharing with us at Allsorts challenge. Can see your garden is coming on nicely as well, our shrubs seem well ahead this year and could't resist sharing a few photos yesterday.

Jane your Easter card is adorable! I love the fluffy lamb and sheep!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your blooming tulips, your yard and especially that tidy studio! Lucky, you! I have two questions...one--do you have air conditioning in your
studio, and two...do you have to plant your tulip bulbs every year? Here, in the south, tulips are an annual, and you have to chill them in the fridge for 4-6 weeks prior to planting them. Too much work, so I gave up after two seasons of that. Up north, they come up every year without any fuss. Thank you for the inspiration! Hugs!
What a fun card, love that you have given the sheep fluffy coats so cute, thanks for joining us at Crafty Catz this week, Jac x
ReplyDeleteHello Jane, It was lovely to meet you at Ally Pally today and I will certainly check out the various crafty resources you mentioned in connection with Visible Image. I love your card in this post - so sad when a lovely company ceases trading and I am extremely jealous of your craft cabin in the garden. Thanks again for your advice today, Anne x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, wonderful design, thanks for joining us at Allsorts, xxx
ReplyDeleteEnjoy AP, watching it on TV wishing I was there, xxxx
Your flowers are lovely. I pulled many of potted plants into garage on Fri since we had a windstorm til about 1 PM. Strong enuf to down trees in the area and spotty loss of power. I really like your garden office. Fun idea! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful backyard and I love your studio.
ReplyDeleteCute Easter card!
