Good morning, everyone! Happy Tuesday! I am getting excited for the rest of this week. Even though we had frost last night, it's supposed to warm up into the 80's for the rest of the week ~ woot!We have been busy doing some yard work...putting out mulch, planting new grass, and taking out a pond that we had in the front yard. It was there when we moved in, but it's always just been a mosquito factory and was so hard to keep clean. So...I'm thrilled that it's gone. We took the big rocks that were around it and put them around our deck in the backyard, filled with shrubs and mulch and it's starting to look nice back there. Still a lot to do, but it will get there eventually! It's so darn expensive to landscape.
I have one little card to share today that I created for the next challenge at Card-a-licious. The challenge is to create a card with stars, flowers and stitching. I was a little worried about how to make stars and flowers go together, but the subtle flowers work as a background. Hope you can play along with us!
I am also working on a new website (or should I say my hubby is!) that will house my blog and a gallery of my work. Getting excited for that, but it may be awhile yet. Thank you for all your nice comments about my tutorials. I hope to do more soon and will try to get better lighting for you. Enjoy your day and hope you are having sunshine where you are too.

You have been busy landscaping! It sounds like you'll have such a wonderful place for your family to enjoy the summer!
Speaking of summer, I LOVE the July 4th holiday. It always brings back wonderful memories for me. This tag card makes happy! The flowers and stars are perfect together!!
Can't wait to see your new website! ♥♥ Kay
Wow, that is ambitious. Taking OUT a pond. That had to be a lot of work. I love your card!!!
Cute tag!!! I will have to be sure and play along!! I will trade your 80 degree weather for my 100 degree weather!!!
love your new card!! Good luck with your yard work, sounds like a LOT of work!!
Hi Danielle! Yard work, huh? I need to get out and do a bit myself. Funny, just last year I took out a nice water feature in my front yard for many of the same reasons you did. When it was working properly, it was awesome. But it eventually became a breeding place for some nasty flying insects! UGH! I'm sure filling in an entire pond was an enormous task. It is always rewarding when it's over though.
Love your beautiful tag! And I'm looking forward to your new site. Hope you are having a wonderful day!
Gorgeous card, Dani. And a great challenge. I'll see if I have time to play along again. Can't wait to see your new website. I want one too. Can your hubby build one for me too? LOL!
