Well, my internet is down and I’m finishing up my post on my cell phone. Thank goodness I added the photos yesterday!

I’m not sure why, but I had a really hard time coming up with a card for this layout. My first card was a failure, and I ‘m not really satisfied with this one either.

I used the Lovely Lily Sale-a- Bration stamp set and the Lily Impression Designer Series Paper. I really like the way the lily nestles into the lily pad. I have a pond garden and try to grow water lilies. Some years I’m successful, some years not. I guess gardening and card making do have something in common, lol. I’m always thinking about next year for my garden, especially now, when it’s covered in snow. Some Minnesotan’s fly south, I start looking through garden catalogs, when I take a break from my stamp room.

I’m anxious to see what cards the other STARS have created using this layout. Be sure to click on the blue box below to view the links to the other STARS’ blogs.
