Day Dreaming

I'm Day Dreaming again......hurray!  I don't always have time to get on the computer and play with my sweet Daydream Designs images, but I sure do enjoy myself when I do.  This card was made with the super sweet new Preserving Sweetness Set.  I used the Strawberry Preserves and the coordinating Strawberry Sweetness Plaid Patterned Paper.  I also threw in a few chipboard elements from Cosmo Cricket's Early Bird collection because they matched so nicely.
I added some green jute which I tied around the jar, and I also placed some tiny gem stickers in the centers of the chipboard flowers.  There are a couple different snippets of ribbon stapled to the side, and of course I machine stitched the card (as I most always do).
 
I'm entering my card in the following challenges:
 
Sketch Saturday - Week #327 Sponsored by Simon Says Stamp
 
Our Daily Bread Designs - Challenge #213 - Stitch It - This is my third entry and doesn't use any ODBD products, but my other two entries do use their products.  I always LOVE stitching on my cards!
 
Have a blessed day, and thanks so much for stopping by to say hello.

  2. Oh, Karen, I just love this country-made jam jar!! It reminds me of the days my grandma would make jam from fresh strawberries and "put them up" for the winter...yum! Such a darling image and beautiful paper!! So happy that you got to "Day Dream" and use your own beautiful images to design the sweetest card with such a country feel to it!! And, yes, I love your stitching, which is perfect for the ODBD Shining the Light challenge! So glad to have you join us again, sweet friend!! Hugs!
