Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop

The Great Outdoors Theme!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Connie & Mary! I love spending time outdoors. Especially during the summer months as I work in the flower gardens, veggie garden and mowing the lawn. The theme of our blog hop today is the Great Outdoors and I think my sentiment says it all to those of you that know how to relax:

Relaxing is something I don’t know how to do. I’m not the type to sit, as I like being active and doing something when I’m outdoors, so the word relaxing is a hard one for me. I love that the stamped image from the In The Moment stamp set is relaxing with a glass of wine and looking out beyond.

The Designer Paper patterned layer I used is from the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Paper and I thought it was so perfect as the background. I stamped directly on the designer paper:
