I am back!!! I actually would have been on time if I had not lost my pictures in my computer!!! I am so proud of me!!! I found them without having to ask Shane for help. I just thought of his eyes rolling around in his head and declaring once again that the only reason he was born was to bring me in the computer age and I searched and searched until I found them!!! I also tried a new technique to soften the picture....can hardly wait to force my son to look at it. lol!!
OK the next thing in a very long list of things that I am not an expert at is growing....vegetables and flowers. The only vegetable that survived was my one zucchini plant that fed 100's of people...some I knew and some I didn't. It is no wonder there are soooooo many recipes for zucchinis.
It was so fun uploading in the teapot challenge. I have missed everyone a lot!!
In checking the sketch challenge, it works for it too!! the paper makes the second layer.
Hello to all of my sisters.....
Thank you for looking.

Connie this is soooo pretty! I love the soft colors of the card base and the bright colors in the sprinking can of flowers! Don't you just hate it when you've done something or lost something on the computer and don't have a clue how to fix it!!! lol TFS

Computers are a challenge... I've had more than a few with mine. This is a great card. I love how you made the image so bright and cheery, with the softly colored background!

Welcome back. Oh those computers. Our son moved away forcing me to be independent and learn to operate mine by myself. The one thing about computers is they are logical and once you start thinking "how" by yourself you'll be amazed at what you can figure out. Good Luck.

Hugs to you - I've missed you too, and if so many TPT birthdays hadn't more than used up my international stamp budget for the month you'd have had a card from me.
I bet Shane will be proud when you show him how you are learning (LOL, I wish my dad would learn some things!!), and I love your beautiful flowers, with the little popped-up one for extra fun - gorgeous colours.
