My Time Made Easy Tending The Garden

Hello and welcome to day 2 of the My Time Made Easy sneak peeks for July!  Today I get the pleasure of introducing another super cute set called Tending the Garden.  It is full of garden type images and lots of different (and useful) sentiments.  For my first card I used the cute swirly little pea pod image and the "Lil' Sweet Pea" sentiment, a perfect combination for a baby card.  I also used a simple frame from Killer Curves and hand trimmed it.  The background was created with two different greens (light and dark) and the long stamp from Paper Pattern Pieces.  I couldn't resist adding a few tiny buttons that I found in my stash, I believe these came from a scrapbooking store I visit every once in a while that has little bins of buttons you can pick through and purchase individually...not economical probably but they have quite a selection.  Or at least they used to as I haven't been there forever! 

For my second card I used the big watering can image from the set and I paper pieced it using a piece from the Farm Fresh pad from October Afternoon, it has so many pretty colors in it!  I created a little background using elements from the set on kraft cardstock from Couture Cardstock.  The focal point and the sentiment are on die cuts from the Blossom dies from Spellbinders. 

This card is 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 which is a fun size but difficult to find an envelope for, nevertheless I used it.  Iadded a green cardstock strip, stamped with the leaf image and a big fat piece of ric rac.  At the last minute I added the butterfly...what do you think?
