Photo Card Gift Set - Donation

I made a set of photo cards in the 5x7 format which is larger than the standard A2 size I normally make.

I adhered one of my photographs in 4x6 size to the front which were individually signed. 

For this set I selected flowers in the set. 

I chose the following and put 2 cards of the same in the box.

Red Dahlia

Yellow Lily

Pink Cosmos

Purple Allium





Making larger cards was challenging in the sense that I need new supporting documents, new envelopes, and new packaging.




This is being donated as a prize for a charity event in the fall.

Share Your Cup - This Week

I found a group of House Sparrows in a medium sized bush this morning on my walk.  They were a bit braver in numbers and I was behind the fence.  I managed to get a couple of good photos as they sat in the sun warming themselves. It was quite cool over night and you can see they are puffed to keep the warmth in.

The bees were a bit slow this morning as well so I managed to get this one on the Allium Purple Sensation in one of the yards on my morning walk.










I walked a different street this morning and found this wonderful decoration on a front door.

It was blue in real life but this seems grey.

I had some breakfast on the balcony a bit later than usual so the sun was pretty bright.  I placed a burgundy cloth on the table, added a turquoise placemat, and used my IKEA plate with coordinating red china mug.  I'm getting so I prefer the lighter porcelain mugs to the heavier ironstone ones.  I had a delicious Chai black tea with cream and honey.











I picked the raspberries on my walk this morning. I added them to the dish of yogurt along my usual banana. A chocolate bran muffin to round out the meal and it was all good.

Mosaic Monday - Conservatory Trip

I took a trip to the conservatory yesterday because I needed a photo for the challenge on one of my Flickr groups.  You can check here to see the photo of the poisonous foxglove.

Here's some photos from that trip.

Top Left - I found a lady bug on the foxglove.  
Top Right - Allium giganteum - They are gorgeous flowers.
Bottom Left - This is a photo taken from the eye end of a prism kaleidoscope which I found in the gift shop. Very cool.
Bottom Right - Canada 150 tulip.  I have seen many of these this spring.  

I am waiting for the peonies to bloom.
