One of my fondest memories as a kid happened at my 'Gammaw's' house, my great grandmother Maisie Yelverton. She lived her entire life on the same road, within a 3 mile stretch. She lived on a farm, complete with an aging barn, cows, pigs, some chickens, and tons of trees; pecan, plum, fig, pomegranite... I loved spending time there - you never went hungry - lol!
When I saw this image by Mo Manning, Blueberry Girl, I just HAD TO HAVE IT! My mother has blueberry and blackberry bushes, and I'm so happy that my kids will know what it's like to pick those! I know it sounds silly, but picking things was such a joy to me, and I know it will be to them, too! This is my second card as guest designer for Mo's Dream Team blog - still pinching myself... and trying really hard not to post a card there EVERY day - cause you know I want to - lol!
I printed this image on white paper, so when I decided to use the Material Girl paper by Cosmo Cricket, I tea stained the paper the image is on. This is for 2 challenges, the Pink Elephant (childhood) and Taylor's sketch.
I hope you're having an awesome day & thanks so much for induging!
