I’m ready to kick back and take it easy for the weekend. How about you? I’ll see you again on Monday!






Oh so so clean and fresh… Such a great card! Leslie you know I love all the white on this one. hee hee
oh I so love your watercoloring…and esp like how you added the extra strawberry on the ribbon.
Ok now that I see the full shell set… I’m finding it VERY hard to resist… what a wonderful set!! All the new releases are great. And WOW your card is so pretty, the coloring of that basket - wowsa!
Leslie, this is over-the-top! Oh my gosh, I love your strawberry charm, absolutely darling! I love this set, Flourishes has another winner!
Leslie, Leslie, Leslie - What a charming strawberry themed card! Your sketch/layout works wonderfully with those subtle DPs and I adore the green twine you so cleverly used to secure the strawberry. That red gingham steals my heart!
You did a beautiful job on those strawberries, Leslie. I like the watercolor touch. Hope you have a fun and relaxing week-end. Thanks for the heads-up on the Flourishes surprise. I’ll try to remember to tune in at noon.
Pretty strawberry card, really like the design and the lone strawberry is a neat touch. tfs
So pretty!! I like the berry tied on to the ribbon.
so pretty, like how you combined the dp strips with the embossed strip and the strawberry with the ribbon is too cute!
Your beautiful watercoloring really shows off that strawberries basket image, which is not as noticeable in the set group compared to the larger, flashier images. Lovely design too, especially the checked ribbon w/ strawberry embellishment, red eyelets and that piece of argyle embossed paper. As always, the perfect finishing touches. Linda
I love the new release, and your strawberry card looks delicious!! I love your strawberry accent on your ribbon, and your coloring makes the strawberries look real!!
Oh my gosh, Leslie — your previews are just fantastic! I am loving the vintage summer images! I have a pot of strawberries growing on my deck — that set is calling my name!
Dang it…….you just make me do it with your gorgeous creations. Just ordered 3 stamp sets (strawberries, poppies and sweet peas) and the White CS from Flourishes
TFS your gorgeous strawberry basket, which lucky, lucky me I got to see IRL
Sure had fun Leslie with our show and tell and garden tour!
Leslie, you always floor me with your colouring! Love that basket of berries and the combination of colours makes this so fresh and beautiful!
