This card is for Janet in San Antonio Texas. Sunflowers always remind me of big happy faces, they remind my husband of ballgames as he always wants to eat those sunflower seeds "Spitz" when he watches games. Everything on my card is Crafty Secrets. The sunflower is from a medium set called Sunflower and the gingham paper was printed from the Patterns CD. I am loving this custom bg paper concept. You can alter the tint on papers and print them off as you need them, sure cuts down on the storage.

What a perfectly lovely sunflower. I love the layout with the green gingham and corrugated cardboard. Reminds me of seed packets of old.

Oh Fall can't be far behind with this lovely card. The burgeoning sunflower & the raffia are a harbinger for my favorite season.
p.s. Thanks for the Arctic air that is blowing our way from Canada today. Delightful, as is your card.
