{"Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods."}
This week's Dutch Dare Challenge put to the Design Team is to create a card with buttons and bows. The sentiment was stamped on BG patterned cardstock and the rest of the plain cardstock are from the ColorMates range. The orange photo corners around the sentiment are from Heidi Swap. The felt flowers are all from one packet in the Fiesta Felt flowers range from Buttons Galore. These felt flowers are just a dream to work with as they are self-adhesive, just pull the backing off and viola it sticks properly, not like some self-adhesive embellishments which needs extra adhesive. The buttons and string bows are from my personal stash. 
Thanks again for stopping by and all your lovely comments which I cherish.
The regulars popping in here would recall a post I had during September last year reporting on Mr Weaver having built his nest in one of our Fever Trees in the garden, but he failed to attract any interested future Mrs Weaver. Well I gather that it must be the same Mr Weaver who has again built a nest in the very same tree, a few days ago. I have not yet investigated the nest too closely to determine whether it is a love nest. Lets hope that it is, after all we are celebrating the Month of Love right now.
Thanks again for stopping by and all your lovely comments which I cherish.

ReplyDeleteEk het nou lekker opgevang met die mooi goed op jou blog. Ek verkyk my aan jou skeppings en die vriendskap kaartjie is baie besonders. Baie geluk met jou prestasie om as wenner aangewys te word. Ek is nie verbaas nie. Jy verdien dit!! En sommer bietjie krag geput uit die kaartjie dat die lewe nie aan horlosies nie maar oomblikke gemeet word. Dis so waar. Lieflike naweek vir jou

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Desire, love the colours. That nest looks amazing ... really impressive, fab photo! Jillix
ReplyDeleteEk het 'n bietjie agter geraak hier en dit geniet om jou onlangse pos te lees. Jy is regtig 'n inspirasie vir my. Wens ek en Tamerin (my "special child" vir wie ek homeschool) het eers hier gekyk voor ons ons Valentine kaartjies gemaak het. Sal in alle geval gereeld hier inloer. Sy moet dikwels verjaarsdagkaartjies maak en Moedersdag is ook op ons voor ons ons oe uitvee!
ReplyDeleteVergeet om te se, dankie vir die voeltjienuus. Laat weet hoe dit gaan. Dit het my laat besef dat ons lanklaas ons gevlekte lyster by ons venster gehoor of gesien het. Hoop nie hy is dood nie. Is lysters trekvoels? Hoop maar so.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, DesÃre!!! The colors are wonderful, love it!
ReplyDeleteHi Desire! I came by to visit for a bit and my jaw just dropped when I saw this colorful card you made. It is outstanding, cheerful and loaded with all things pleasing to the eye! WOW!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat nest of Mr. Weaver is so intricate and flawless. You should enter this photo in a contest somewhere; if it was my contest, you would win the grand prize!
