These colors make me happy. They make me think of summers years ago picking strawberries with my mother at a farm near my home town. The days were sooo hot ... crouched in the dirt between the rows of berries but I loved it. We'd take our quarts up the counter to be counted and paid for. Then we'd head home where we'd make the best strawberry shortcake ever!
Starting with a strawberry and apple print of the same color family, I added a paper doily and some stitching. A couple scalloped shapes in coordinating colors, a painted chipboard heart, and fussy cut apple with button were all layered on top. A banner with a happy greeting and two self-adhesive gems were added in addition to a fancy folded green ribbon along the bottom and a bow with decorative pins. Too sweet!
Thanks for letting me share today!
