I hope everyone is having a beautiful weekend! It’s in the 80’s here and perfect weather for working in the yard. DH has been mulching and I’ve been getting the beds ready for planting. I love digging in the dirt and my favorite thing is designing and planting my deck pots and window boxes. I even use one of my favorite Stampin’ Up! tools to help pick out my flower colors, the Color Coach. I would be lost without it, in stamping or flower gardening.

Speaking of gardening, my favorite stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catalog is Scene In A Garden. I dug out last years Certainly Celery Designer Series Paper because I remembered one of the patterns had a dragonfly on it (I love dragonflies). It worked perfectly with the set. The flip side has the polka dots.
