Happy Saturday! Thank goodness it's the weekend! I told you that I've been having all my annual check ups done and this year it seems like each of them has presented a little unexpected surprise. My annual eye check up showed some odd findings on the OTC test - so off to a retina specialist this past Thursday. I had a whole series of tests including a die injected into my vein, and am happy to report only minor changes that can be expected with age! My heart goes out to any one who is having issues with this. It's another big reality check considering the different possibilities of how this could have turned out! A new challenge begins today at Inspired by All The Little Things! It was my turn to invite a designer - this time it's Jinny Newlin from Soaring! She made a beautiful project inspired by the the yummy inspiration photo of berries, and did a short interview so we can learn a little bit more about her!
I tried to focus on the different elements of the inspiration photo including the wood grain background. and of course the yummy berries! The first set that came to mind was the WPlus9 "Fresh Picked" stamp set. This set is retired and was happy to come out of the valut for today.
There's lots of great berry sets - I'm hoping you have one in your stash and can play along. Berries always remind me of the American flag - the red and blue together! 
That cute little basket is from Reverse Confetti - it is really easy to put together because it has a solid background die, doily liner and even a handle so it can double as a bucket.
I adhered most of the elements with adhesive foam tape. Some of them - like the blueberries, I glued to the base for even more dimension.
Have a great weekend!

This is such a yummy card, Jeanne! I love the browns and whites in the patterns in the background.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable basket of berries, Jeanne, love this card!
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning inspiration card for us, Jeanne! I now have a longing for a fresh fruit salad! (Actually, that's a lie. At first I thought your basket was a strawberry cupcake, then I thought it was a strawberry pie. You can see that I'm a hopeless carboholic whose mind goes right to ANYTHING but plain and healthy fresh fruit, lol!) I love all your sweet layers and those fun wood-look sequints!! Enjoy your day!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteOh Jeanne...so sorry to hear about your eyes, take good care of them my dear. Love your adorable card, would love to have a yummy strawberry cupcake like that for breakfast! So sweet.
ReplyDeleteThank you for choosing such a cheerful and fresh photo for this week! Your card is truly scrumptious: )
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely Jeanne! I love your take on the inspiration, and the strawberries in the basket are just so cute!
ReplyDeleteThis is perfectly yummy Jeanne, love this!! So happy everything turned out well with your eye exam!
ReplyDeleteThis is too cute, Jeanne, and packed to the brim with delicious details and layers! LOVE! Thanks so much for inviting me to be a part of the team this week; for all the kinds words you shared on the Inspired by All the Little Things blog; and for being such an amazing, longtime, blog friend. You're the greatest! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThis is sooooo gorgeous! xxx
ReplyDeleteso sweet - great card
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, Jeanne! Wonderful take on the inspiration photo!
ReplyDeleteI think I may need to add these berry stamps to my collection...
Beautiful inspired card Jeanne, whenever I see that stamp set I think I need to get it then I don't. :(
ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous use for that basket--love those yummy berries! Glad your eye tests came out well, I went through something similar a year or so ago and am still doing 6-mo checks. Fortunately, no problems but it sure makes one thankful for not having a serious condition.
ReplyDeleteI remember you using this stamp set about a year ago... maybe more. Let's just say it ended up coming to my house, too!
ReplyDeleteLove your fruit theme, Jeanne. Gorgeous colours. X
