Please take a visit to Sweet Sketch Wednesday and there are some amazing cards our team have for you this week.
This week I'm sending all of you in the Northern Hemisphere a little ray of sunshine to brighten and warm your day. We seem to have an over abundance this year and the heat is meant to carry on for another 3 months. I took my photo's outside on Monday morning where we had just had breakfast and it was such a beautiful morning. The flowers are Agapanthus they grow like a weed in New Zealand and they come in White and Purple, they have lush green foliage all year round. They are very expensive plants in Australia about $15-$20 each and we pull them out like weeds as we have an overabundance and they also spray them to eradicate them.
I just love them in a vase at this time of year as everything else is dieing with the heat.

Love the photo with your card and outdoor table! The colors on your card are really pretty and I love how you shaded the background. My weather eye says it is -24C out right now LOL but the sun hasn't risen yet so I except it will warm up a couple of degrees soon ;)

Kathie, I hope your are feeling better that was awful that you got sick. To bad you had to come home early. Oh I just adore your lavenders. That image is just too sweet. On that I want to do but knew Judi was doing it. Any image with hats. Since I love to wear hats. Your card next to your flowers so pretty. Looks like you have some gorgous scenery. Thanks for all you do.
Kathie, I am coming for breakfast! Yours is my kind of weather for sure! I am freezing her in Utah. Well, I sat in ahhh when I saw your card this week! Your colors are gorgeous and I love your shading behind Betty! Did you just color it and add dots? It's just spectacular. I love your beautiful lavender papers and those NZ flowers are such a gorgeous backdrop! I just have not gotten into the card decor yet! Yes, great minds do think alike! Wasn't this just such a fun image to create with?
Such a cute card Kathie, I love the colours and the sweet image.
