The great outdoors (is ok if it's not raining)

 Morning all.  We have a new letter for you at The Alphabet Challenge this morning.  We have reached 'O for Outdoors'.  Now the outdoors is ok for me, as long as the weather is ok.  I'm not a great fan of wet weather.  Yes, I know I won't rust but why take the chance.

I'm also a fan of my garden, as long as I don't have to do any gardening.  Every now and again I will pop out and try and tidy it up but what's the point.  The weeds just wait a week and pop back up.  I like to sit by the pond with a book and a glass of something.  I have used the garden as inspiration for my card as I had this lovely topper in my stash.


In my dreams my garden looks like that. My reality is quite different.





 Anyway, that's my version of outdoors.  I'm sure you have your own ideas so let's see them.

Thanks for reading.  

Love Dawn x

  7. Elegantly beautiful card, Dawn. As much as I adore gardens (and nature in general) and greatly admire those with a passion for the classic art of gardening, I am not a gardener myself for all intents and am more than happy to cultivate my blooms and branches via paper crafting. :)

  10. I love wet weather because those are the days one can stay inside crafting with a good conscience:) The glittery effect of those papers looks amazing!
