Fab Friday 213 Above & Beyond

Happy Tuesday, peeps!  I did my civic duty this morning and voted in our primary election.  Voting has always been important, but even more so now!  I also got in some stamping yesterday (that's important too!) and wanted to share some new goodies I got!  I didn't get the Sweet as a Peach stamp, but I did get the VERY pretty You're A Peach DSP, and that's what I am using on my card today!  First, it uses the sketch from Fab Friday:

And here we go:


Pretty straightforward; I let the DSP do most of the work!  The sentiment is from Shaded Summer, stamped in Mossy Meadow; I diecut it with the Tailored Tags die, repositioning it in the Big Shot after the first cut to cut off the top portion so I got a nicely finished rectangle:


My simple embellishments were fussy-cutting some of the flowers from a scrap of DSP and adhering them to the side, then adding a strip of coordinating Pansy Petals DSP behind it.  I did add a Balmy Blue scallop rectangle too, even though that die is retired, I will keep on using it, LOL!  It all went on a Pale Papaya card base.  I love these colors together!

So my sweet friend Fran from Connecticut shared these robin pictures with me and with her permissions, I am sharing them with you!  She has a nest right outside her window and has been watching the mama robin sitting on her eggs, and now they've hatched, so her mothering chores have been amped up, feeding the little ones:




It's not often we get such an up-close personal view, so thanks, Fran!  It is a blessing to see nature at work!  Enjoy your day and be blessed, and thanks for popping by!

  1. Gosh LeAnne! Now I want that paper! You've used it so prettily here and the fussy cut flowers are perfect. Great way to show using the paper without the matching set. Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!

  2. With DSP as pretty as this, who needs the stamps, LeAnne? What a gorgeous card, and fun way to give someone a much appreciated Atta Girl!

  7. Gorgeous! I love these papers and only have them (not the stamp set) so your card is a great way to show how they can be used without. Love Fran's robin photos - fascinating! We currently have a blue tit nesting in a box on the side of our house that has an HD camera in it that feeds to the TV, so I have spent the last few weeks watching the mum raise 5 babies - it's captivating!

  8. There are some truly gorgeous papers in the catalogue this year! Your card is so pretty LeAnne and cutting the flowers out to use as embellishments makes for such a pretty coordinated look.
    Thanks for sharing the up close and personal robin photos - miraculous! Vicky x
