No! You're Not Seeing Double!

 Oh darn. These photos have loaded up in the wrong order. The cards (at the bottom) were supposed to be first! Oh well, "iiwii" - It Is What It Is!  So one of my neighbours , who is a professional photographer, gave me a new lens for my camera the the other day! So I thought I would take a few close up shots of one of the Agapanthus flowers that are in full bloom right now. Oh, and a Dandelion dead head. There is small breeze blowing, so it wasn't easy to get a good in focus shot, but I gave it a go! Darn that little bit of wind!
I have always loved the colour of these Agapanthus, ad these were not actually 'planted'. My stamping friend Margaret, who at the time, lived 2 houses around the corner from me, had asked if I cold dig some out of her garden, as they were taking over. She only had a small area of garden. So I dug some out took them home.  As I said, I didn't actually 'plant' them.  All I did was dig a slit into the soil, wiggle the spade sideways  and placed the Agapanthus plants on top. Every single one of them grew! They will not take over the garden as there is plenty of room for  them to spread out  as much as they like. 
So here's the  same cards I posted yesterday. The only difference is, I have layered them and finished them off properly. So NO! You are not seeing double! Although you cannot see it, I have added glitter to the center of each of the stars on here. It sparkles in real life!
For the card below I stamped LS stars around the white and black layers of card before I stuck each layer on. And yes I used my new Layering Rulers! I am still learning how to use them properly. This card too has some glitter on it!
That's it for today, its beginning to get vey hot and humid these days, and the humidity is making me 'wilt'! Thanks for dropping by, have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to always be your authentic self, and shine bright each and every day!

  1. What a thoughtful gift. Love the agapanthus and your beautiful cards. I often have a hard time getting my photos to load in the order that I want them to and usually wind up doing them one at a time.
