The quote for inspiration at Time Out is one of my favorites:
In the top five things I'm grateful for are a list of friends, some of whom I've know for over 40 years now. This card went to one of those long-time friends.
She's a country girl at heart and decorates her home with lots of country-themed accessories so I thought this mason jar and the gingham check would be perfect for her. I die cut the gingham paper from My Favorite Things with the Papertrey Ink Shape Shifter Oval, and tied a piece of twine around it, finishing with a bow.
I fussy cut the flowers from Simon Says "Mandy's Flowers" and popped it up with some dimensional tape. The card base is PTI's Summer Sunrise. Tulips are done here, now, but we're blessed with lots of flowers both in our yard and in pots in the front of our house and around the patio. Here's a peek at some near the front door.
The sun is out, and although it's exceptionally cool today, we've had lovely weather and have spent a lot of time outside walking, hiking, and sitting/eating on the patio.
