Long Time Gardening

I was browsing through my Paper Crafts magazine looking for inspiration and I found a card recipe with a partial circle (I wish I could post their recipe here, but I can't find it on-line), so I was able to get out my Circle Scissors Plus yet again! And using my Scene In A Garden still.....I'm enjoying this set. I hope you don't tire of my cards, lol.

So, I used their card recipe and altered it only a bit...my sentiment isn't arched. I love finding inspiration through other's ideas. It's so much easier then searching my own head at times ;).

Anyway, I stamped/colored/cut out the images from the stamp set and kinda placed them haphazardly in my scene, to make it like the gardener was working hard and lost in his craft as we--as stampers often do. I know that my desk usually is a disaster when I'm in the midst of a project...I clean up after each project is completed to keep myself sane.

Set: Scene In A Garden, Long-Time Friend, Linen Background
Accessories: So Saffron, Confetti Cream, Garden Green & Really Rust cardstocks, Prints Sampler DP, Creamy Caramel & StazOn Black inks, Pencils w/OMS, So Saffron Grosgrain, Rich Regal Brad, Primas, Rhinestone, Sponge, Cutter Kit, Circle Scissor Plus

For anyone that is keeping track....my hubby emailed me today and told me that he finally received his St. Patrick's Day box! He loved the card and all the goodies...even the St. Pat's specific stuff....I guess they'll have fun with it even though the day is past.
