Yesterday was Adam’s birthday, and although I did get a phone call in to him, I didn’t get a blog post up because I ended up driving to Syracuse to spend a few hours with my brother. (More about that later this week.) Here’s the card I left with our gift for him when we were in Ashland.
I’m a big fan of Papertrey’s Stylish Sentiments: Birthdays, and thought the bicycle image from Studio Calico was a perfect match for it. The arrow is a Papertrey die, and I hand cut the banner. I think I cased the design for this card from one by Joy Taylor, but I can’t for the life of me find it on her site or in my Vi.sualize.us account.
We’ve had a very busy week and dreary, dreary weather—enough rain that we ended up with some water in the basement. It made for slim pickings for the 52/50 project this week. I had hoped a visit by Betsy and Skylar Friday night would add some good images, but Skylar was feeling under the weather, so I’ll save those for a weekend recap post later this week.
My favorite image from the conservatory last Saturday, taken with the 50 mm.
A rather winter-worn deer showed up in the yard one morning.
I was happy with the clear focus on the raindrops since it was taken through the kitchen window. It was much too wet to take the good camera outside.
There was a break in the rain the day I after I found the helleborus blooming in the backyard. This is the pick for Kent Weakley’s P52 project.
That poor deer looks mighty hungry. Love the raindrops!
Great photo of the rain drops. I love hellebores. My Mom has one planted next to a pink rose which flowers quite early in summer and they are often both in flower together.
I love that raindrop photo. We have had rain for most of the week however today the rain shone and the temperature is rising! I am so ready for Spring.
Great raindrops photo….we’ve had a perfect Spring day today….light rain followed by warm sunshine.
I also love that sentiment on the card.
Great photos Karen, I also like the raindrops but love the detail in the hellebore x
I hope Skylar feels better soon 🙂
Your card is lovely..and I’m very taken by the photo of the deer in your yard – definitely not something you would see round here!
All your photos today are lovely! The helleborous is beautiful. And I do love that saying and agree it works well with the bikes. Great color combo, too.
Rinda
Yes I’m with Rinda. The helleborous is wonderful. I have one but for the life of me I can’t get a decent picture of it. I think it is too low down for me to focus. You have encouraged me to ask for it to be lifted up onto a table. Thanks Karen. The rest of your pictures are just gorgeous, Oh! that poor deer!
