Time for Lilly of the Valley

I remember all along the east side of the house I grew up in was this wonderful smell from Lilly of the Valley flowers. I've never been able to grow them, so this is the next best thing. I needed a card for a fellow card maker and this is what came to mind. I used an Impression Obsession die and cardstock to cut the flowers. I added a pink bow and that was it. I can almost smell them!

I told my luggage there would be no vacation this year. Now I'm dealing with emotional baggage.





Be kind to one another.

Your card is so pretty Brenda, those flowers are so delicate. Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog. I guess since you're from Indy, you would be considered my crafty neighbor. I'm from Paoli. Hope you have a great week!

It's wonderful when a product or finished card brings back happy memories and even smells like this pretty card did, Brenda! For me, it is always lilacs. Your fellow cardmaker will love this beribboned bouquet! Hugs, Darnell

How pretty is this Brenda! Love the delicate flowers. I thought I’d lost mine but some have appeared in a different part of my garden. I’ll think of you now when I see them xxx

My grandmother had a big bed of lily of the valley and it smelled so good when it bloomed. I have a few sprigs and those little blooms always make me smile! This is such a pretty feminine card, my friend!
