Hurray for blogging friendships!
A very warm welcome to you all this Tuesday morning! Lovely to have you visiting.
I have a fun little project to share with you, all thanks to a lovely blog friend....
A while back the talented Brenda Brown from Bumblebees and Butterflies, posted a lovely project that I really liked, you can see it HERE. I asked her which dies she had used for the caddy and the seed packets, and not only did she answer me straight away, she even offered to send me some die-cuts for the caddy, (a Sizzix die) and actually sent me the die for the seed packet (an old discontinued Spellbinder one) as well, how kind is that?? . I used Graphics 45 French Country papers for both the caddy and the seed packet, and then I made a card to go with it, also using the G45 papers and stamps. This could be fun little gift for a gardening friend. Thank you Brenda, I had great fun with this!!
And here are some close ups of the card still:
Hope you like my little paper play project, I just love the country feel of the G45 papers.
Thank you for visiting!

Birthday Card
Just got a whole lot of new stamps from a brilliant place called the Stamp Smith. This is the image that I first saw on Docraft and really liked. I asked the friend who has used it in an ATC, where she got it. Well she borrowed it from a friend who got it from ebay as a one off. But.... it had a title. I googled the title, and hey presto found the site. They have great stamps and offer a really friendly fast service. I highly recommend them!

Brenda's generosity doesn't surprise me. She is a wonderful person and has the most beautiful heart. Love how you've utilised the G45 papers for this project as they lend themselves so well to the card and the seed packets/holder. Hugs, Jenny x
How lovely of Brenda....and what a fab project, I can see why you wanted to make them.
Great projects Astrid. I need a box to hold a mini album and smash book of my New Zealand trip and something like this would be perfect. Love your card as well, especially the folded down corner, great idea, and of course, looove the papers you've used. Both are gorgeous!! ox Marg
Love your makes and it is true Brenda is one lovely lady! Fab makes ...and fab dies X
So kind of Brenda to send you the goodies and how wonderfully you have used them to make this terrific gift and card.
Have a lovely day Astrid

What an amazing project again Astrid, and how sweet of Brenda to do this, but I´m not surprised anymore. I really honestly think, I´ve met more of the most amazing and generous people here in this crafting world, than I have in the rest of my life before, and I´m certain that crafters ARE a special kind of people, and the very best ever. It´s sooo wonderful to hear stories like this, as it just confirm my thoughts AGAIN.
Have a wonderful day everyone and lots of fun, I hope.
Gorgeous pieces. Thank you for sharing
They look wonderful, Astrid.
Hi Astrid, I know first hand how kind and generous Brenda is. I do think that crafters have very kind hearts. Love the beautiful holder you made for the seed packets and your card is just gorgeous. Hugs, Anne x

Dear Astrid, you are much too kind with your wonderful words, but thank you and you are very welcome. I just adore the gorgeous creation you have made with such rich colours and fabulous patterns with the G45 papers. Those little seed packets are to die for, so cute.

Oh yum - what wonderful use of the die-cuts (lovely Brenda!) - they look so perfect with those G45 papers (more and more tempting by the minute, though it's the stamps from that collection that I'm about to give in to, I fear). Gorgeous makes!
