Hi everyone!
Angela here to share a birthday card with a fall theme. I had a lot of fun playing with Distress Oxide ink backgrounds the other day. One of them proved to be just right for this card. I have to admit to being particularly fond of fall colours and especially like a pop of purple, so of course Susan Tierney-Cockburn’s Asters were just what I needed to go with her Chrysanthemums. Some purple berries, and voila! Joset’s Dream stamps provided just the right sentiment.
The Susan’s Garden Design Team are back today with another fun Designer Challenge to share with you.
This month the challenge is …. Home Decor – create a project which could be used as a Home Decor item which includes any products from Susan’s Garden.

Hello to all you wonderful craft-loving friends. Today is my turn to post on Elizabeth Craft Designs blog with a design for Susan’s Garden Design Team.
The card I created features the wildflowers that grow right here in Maine. The flowers are arranged in Susan’s Garden Notes Pottery Pitcher, a die that is made to look like an old enamel pitcher. I love having the actual flowers to look at as I create them in paper. Most of the wildflowers are found growing either in my field or along the roadside as I drive into town. The one I could not find was the blue chicory. I had my husband driving around to find some, but we were a few days too early and by the time I was ready to create the chicory they were in bloom.
Hi everyone, Annette Green here with Susan’s Garden Design Team, and I’ve got a “sweet” birthday card to share today. I adore the new Macarons die by Joset. Combined with the Christmas Pudding die for the cake stand and the easy-to-assemble Aster flower die by Susan, this fun card came together easily. Let me show you the steps so you can try your own.
Hello everyone, it’s Annette Green from the Susan’s Garden Club Design Team here today to share a special birthday card for my Mom. I was in the mood for fall, so I created a flower pot filled with fall flowers. Garden Notes ‘Potted’, ‘Marigold’ and ‘Aster’ are brand new dies from the Summer 2016 release!
