How darling is this little house? This garden house from Ada & Darcy reminds me of a sweet little girl's playhouse. My husband and I are planning to move and fix up an old rounded roof shed in the backyard where my daughter Hannah can play house this summer. It just needs a good cleaning and a fresh coat of paint...then it will be ready for Hannah to move her kitchen set and baby dolls in. I imagine that my boys will sneak in and have a little fun, too!

Thinking of You
Love the grassy border....so easy! Just hand cut a couple of strips of cardstock and distress the top edge a little....viola...a perfect grassy border to showcase your outdoorsy image:) I inked the tree from Thoughts & Prayers stamp set in Not Quite Navy and stamped it directly on to a piece of Tea Party DSP. The little Pretty in Pink flowers were punched with the Trio Flower Punch and attached with Vintage Brads. Finally, a yummy bow (of course) is tied at the bottom to complete the card for sending.
By the way, I'm still on a learning curve with my NEW MacBook Pro, but totally in love with the simplicity & efficiency of it!!! Thanks to those of you Mac users that sent me some feedback and tips on editing my photographs! Anybody out there use GIMP to edit photos on their Mac?
Stamps: Thoughts & Prayers
Paper: Pretty in Pink, Almost Amethyst, Whisper White, Garden Green CS, Tea Party DSP
Ink: Night of Navy
Other: Trio Flower Punch, Mat Pack & Paper Piercing Tool, Vintage Brads, Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon, Cutter Kit

Lovely card, Miss Stacey! That Thoughts and Prayers set is such a versatile one = and one of my faves. :)
I use GIMP to edit my photos on my MAC and it is SUPER easy... Actually, I use it to add my watermark and re-size but the cropping etc. I do in iPhoto.
How lovely Stacey! the grass is very impressive and not to mention your beautiful bow! :)
Love how you used that tree image and added the flowers. Great scene you created too :D
Totally awesome, girl!!
So pretty Stacey! I love that stamp set and it looks great stamped on DSP (great minds think alike on that choice lol!). The pink ribbon is such a great finishing touch!
Your card is beautiful, Stacey! I love the tree with the added flowers! Great colors this week!

Very pretty card! Love those little pink blossoms in your tree! :)
Another fun color combo and oh so pretty sample! Thanks for the inspiration ~ I had fun playing along! :)
Love your colors and card sample...may have to try and squeeze in a card this week! I love my Mac and yes, there's a learning curve but SO WORTH IT! I use GIMP to add watermarks to my pics, but crop and enlighten the photos in iPhoto first.

Great card Stacey.....love that tree with the pink flowers and your rolling hills!!
