Guest Designer for Theme #7's REMINDER post is= Mags B or Maggie Brinkley

Some personal info about Mags shared on her blog: from the UK; She volunteers at her church to help with a baby club and a toddler club. Her interests are birdwatching, cricket, cross stitch, needlepoint, writing, and reading besides terrific cardmaking. 

She's on several design teams and we are very lucky that she's made this card for FarmQuest! 

Inspiration project from Guest Designer Mags:

Mags shared a few lines with me about how she created this cute cottage/farmhouse scene: The card is mostly made with images fussy-cut from an old Stamperia paper pad; I made the water barrel by transferring an image onto card that I stamped with a woodgrain background by Altenew then added shading by sponging Distress Inks on top.  The bands are cut from silver card. 

Very clever and such a cute setting. Looks like a wonderful home that is very active with abundant flowers, worn work boots, more than 1 watering can and their own water barrel! Marvelous!

A few credits are: Simple Stories card kit   (for the background paper panel, the sentiment focal, the boots and watering can ephemera); purple glitter butterfly die-cut is from Studio 112 for Spotted Canary; the yellow layered butterfly has been in my stash for awhile; and the barrel is free clipart image from Clipart Library website that I printed on kraft paper and applied gold stamp pad ink. The white card base is from the kit. The 2 required elements are stacked on the right side which with the other elements and prints gives a spring outdoor garden look to this greeting card!

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.
