Hello, my sweet and dear friends! I have missed you and first have to say that I continue to be overwhelmed with the wonderful kindness shown me by the Teapotters since March 1 and the many other wonderful friends on SCS who have sent me cards of encouragement! Have I told you how much I love SCS and all the wonderful friends here? I do! And I hope you will see this card as a bit of deep appreciation for how much you've touched my heart with your warmth and love! Thank you!
I was so happy to be able to color again and join in for today's Instant Garden release by Power Poppy, and I so love these flowers! And I've learned about a new flower - the checkered lily! And it really is checkered! I had such fun and relaxation coloring this amazing image, and it is a lot of coloring. But it was such a delight after finding images of each one. After I finished coloring it, I fussed around with what to do about a layout and finally just matted it with Strawberry Slush and used one of my favorite Martha Stewart border punches - keeping it very simple. So that's it for this card, and I sure hope I can make another one soon. We had our youngest son here last week and also found out that my DH needs a knee replacement (and will most likely have the other one done a month later). But we believe he is going to feel lots better once he completely heals. So we are quite the pair the last couple of years with going to doctors! But God is so good and has provided us with such wonderful doctors!
So thank you so much for taking a closer look, and I hope you have a great week! Stop by my blog for more details. Big hugs, sweet friends!

I am actually sitting in my garden for 10 minutes of "what I want to do" before I get back to a day full of "things I have to do". So I was looking at some of my fav galleries .... yours especially, and was rewarded with this lovely new creation. I was marveling at how gorgeous the flowers in my yard are, until they were eclipsed by your amazing colored boquet. Oh Cheryl, this is just so perfectly stunning, and I love the lace edge. Into my favs.

Absolutely stunning, Cheryl! Perhaps the most beautifully colored flowers I've ever seen. I keep going back to look at this masterpiece - should be framed and placed in a prominent place in your home.
