Not only do I love the card, but I love how she lined the envelope with matching paper. I've never seen this idea before!

Any leftover pieces of paper can be used for a little color on the front of the envelope.Thank you for the pretty card, Dot! BTW, Dot is a wonderful photographer, so be sure to visit her at her blog, Strolling Through Georgia!

Glad you got the card Kelli. It would have looked better if I'd brought the paper on the envelope up higher. I don't know why I didn't think of that.

I am having a love hate relationship with strawberries this year, as far as planting goes. The tomatoes shot up like crazy but the strawberries, yea not so much. Well girl thanks for stopping by, I will catch ya on the lounge and anywhere else in blog land that I see you.
I am here for Show & Tell because my plane leaves in 2 h to Greece, so I can't put my name in Mr. Linky. You know in Belgium it is already Friday since a few hours. Could you please do it for me ?
