If Friends Were Flowers I'd Pick You Card by Michelle Clement
Patterned paper with a natural 'grid' pattern (such as the colorful square one I used here) is a great base to cluster embellishments on! They don't need to go directly into the squares though - let them overlap a little bit for some interest and dimension, but still an organized look.

We like to grow herbs and fruits whenever possible. We have tried growing strawberries for the last 2 years running but been unsuccessful - i think it may be the altitude we live at. But my daughter continues to try every year! You gotta love her persistence!! :-) Thanks for the chance to win x

Pretty line! I would like for my plants to grow up:)

Right now, we're growing Sweet Pea, tomoatoes, nasturtium, two hydrangea, basil, several succulents, mint, lemon verbena, lantana, several orchids, eggplant, cucumber, mini-pumpkins, coleus, and we just transplanted our little gardenia into the yard because it went from tiny flowering plant to giant bush in a year!

Pretty, pretty projects! I love to plant giant sun flowers in the front yard. They become great conversation starters!
Posted by: Amanda Coleman | Monday, March 26, 2012 at 08:08 AM
I so don't have a green thumb. I like to grow the kind of stuff that comes up year after year and you don't have to take care of...daylilies are my favorite.
Posted by: Miriam Prantner | Monday, March 26, 2012 at 08:18 AM
Gorgeous collection! I love all the projects. I like to grow fruits and vegetables since there is nothing that tastes better than food from your own garden. Herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers, swiss chard, potatoes, carrots, beets, eggplant, artichoke, oranges, peaches, blueberries, strawberries... just some of the things in our garden.
Posted by: Cindy deRosier | Monday, March 26, 2012 at 08:21 AM
Oh how I wish I had a green thumb, but everything I try to grow ... doesn't. I can't even grow inside plants as my cats eat them. I've even been known to destroy a plastic plant (grin). But oh how I adore treats from the garden, and my sister is so good about sharing their bounty!
Posted by: Lillian Child | Monday, March 26, 2012 at 08:24 AM
We like to grow flowers and vegetables. Right now we're hoping our daffodils that bloomed early are not hit by frost! I'd love to play with the Gardenia collection!

Posted by: JeannieD | Monday, March 26, 2012 at 06:49 PM
What a gorgeous line, such cheerful colors! I like to grow anything that involves minimum input from me (I'm not much of a gardener- it would eat up too much time when I could be crafty!). So far lavender bushes and rosemary have been my most successful low-maintenance garden projects.
Posted by: Becs Attwood | Monday, March 26, 2012 at 06:59 PM

How beautiful. Well, even though we still have periods of snow, my tulips and daffodils have managed to push their way through toward the bits of sunshine that we've had. I love gardening - both veggie and fruit. It may sound silly, but the colors are so vibrant - it's so important to take the time to smell the flowers, don't you think?
Posted by: Sharon | Tuesday, March 27, 2012 at 01:56 AM
I really like growing fresh herbs. They are easy to grow and add tons of flavor to meals!
