Welcome to our Theme #7

GUEST DESIGNER, the very talented Leslie Turner=

My name is Leslie Turner and I live in beautiful Colorado. My husband and I have four grown children, three grandsons and three granddaughters, all scattered around the US. I began scrapbooking 45+ years ago, so long ago that all the fun papers and embellishments we use today hadn't even been thought of, and then graduated to card making. These days I would definitely be considered a crafting junkie and really enjoy creating all things paper - handmade cards, 3-D projects, paper shoes and purses, mini albums and gift bags. I occasionally dabble in mixed media and art journaling. I consider myself a clean crafter although I do enjoy lots of layers and getting inky occasionally. I truly love inspiring people to get crafty and I’m always inspired by other paper artists. Thanks so much for inviting me to guest design for FarmQuest Challenge Blog!

 

I'd love for you to follow me on social media!

GD inspiration project interpretation for Theme #7 and Leslie's selfie:

Isn't this a fantastic gardening theme friendship card?!! So sweet! Leslie chose a barrel planter that are very popular in the USA for container-style gardening and a water pitcher. The border patterned paper is showing some partial watering cans and other gardening images, too. 

and the cheerful Leslie:

Leslie's theme interpretation is wonderful and it is tremendous that she's sharing her artistry with us at FarmQuest! Thanks so much!

Some credits are: "Love Grows Here" card kit from Simple Stories provided the background 2 pattern paper panel, the rooster on the barrel, watering can, blue butterfly glued to the barrel, and the little black and white checked heart; Stampin' Up 2001 "HB" stamp; and the gray and white checked gingham paper is from Hot Off The Press.

A personal gardening tidbit from me during current years has been limited to some spring and summer flowers such as peonies, tiger lilies, roses, tulips, and daffodils. These are along the south side of our house.

 At my childhood home there were roses in several locations, lily of the valley on both sides of the front porch steps, a row of peonies along the back sidewalk, and then behind the house in different spots were a patch of rhubarb, grape vines, and the vegetable garden spot. On the NW corner of the house was a big lilac bush and out on the SE corner of the property next to the driveway entrance were spirea bushes. Lots to take care of but also to enjoy their beauty and bounty.
