Hi Everyone
Happy Tuesday!
Here today with a card for the As You See It Challenge where this week we have to fill in the blank in the following sentence:
MY FAVOURITE
FIRST FLOWER
OF SPRING
IS ........................
It is just a shame they don't stay around for very long .. .. .. which means .. .. .. as with most things in life .. .. .. we have to make the most of them and appreciate them while we can.

OF SPRING
IS ........................
I love all the Spring flowers that appear in my garden. It is always lovely to see them bringing the garden back to life again after the dullness of winter .. but my favourite is the
BLUEBELL
It is just a shame they don't stay around for very long .. .. .. which means .. .. .. as with most things in life .. .. .. we have to make the most of them and appreciate them while we can.
So here is my creation:

Trying to get lots crossed of my "must do" list this week so have had to blow the dust off the alarm clock .. .. .. what a shock!!! LOL!!!
Take care everyone.
This is just beautiful, the colouring is perfect! Daffodils are my favourite spring flower!

A stunning card. I love the image. I hope you tick a lot off your list, if it is anything like mine it is never ending. Elaine
ReplyDeleteA stunning card Jules,love bluebells,we had them in every colour from white,lilac to shades of blue,thanks for the beautiful reminder
ReplyDeleteHi Jules,
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous bluebell digi and a beautiful card.
I am a friend of Christine and many years ago, we worked together in The Craft Barn as Tutors and demonstrators. So we do keep in touch.
We had thunder storms this afternoon. So no gardening today,
Love and hugs,

A really lovely image and a great design, lovely subtle papers too. The very old skipping chant comes to mind here. We do not have bluebells in our garden but in the 'what we call, The Banking' at the back of out house is full of them.

Absolutely stunning...I love bluebells too....and ...yes all spring flowers, in fact all flowers really :) xxxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, love the perfect coloured bluebells. They also bloom in my garden for the moment.

A fabulous card Julies. Bluebells are one of my favourite flowers too - they remind me of my nan who used to take me and my sister to a local wood to collect bluebells to give to our mum.

A super bluebell image, beautifully coloured. It is always good to see the Spring flowers and so difficult to select a favourite. If I glance out of the window at the moment I can see lilac and laburnum which both look really pretty waving in the breeze.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card Jules. I would have a problem with this question as I love the see the Crocus with their heads popping up through the grass. Then I love to see the daffodils, which always seem to signal the coming of spring and warmer weather. Followed by the tulips and now it's the turn of the Bluebell and the Clematis which covers my fence panels prolifically. I love seeing all of the flowers opening as the season progresses. Have a great week.

A pretty card Jules, a beautiful stamp - the bluebells are going over in our area - like you say, it's a shame they don't last very long.

A beautiful card Jules and a lovely die too x
ReplyDeleteWowza, this is fabulous! We don't have bluebells here where I live, but I know our sweet little lilies of the valley don't last long either! Thank goodness we have stamps so we can enjoy them forever, right!? Thanks for sharing this beauty with us at As You See It this week!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beauty Jules. We still have quite a lot of bluebells still in bloom, they usually appear at the beginning of April but, like everything else, were much later this year xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Jules, lovely bluebell image and beautifully coloured and designed,Kate x
ReplyDeleteWow! Gorgeous colouring job on the bluebells, Jules! I like the way you have them center stage! They certainly deserve top billing! We don't get bluebells where I live but I bet they would top my list of favourites if we did! Thanks for sharing your favourite spring flower with us at As You See It Challenges!
ReplyDeleteYour bluebells are fabulous, Jules. I'd forgotten about them but I have a patch of them that pop up every year and look amazing. Your colouring is gorgeous and the scallop edged rectangle makes a good frame for them. Thanks for joining us at As You See It Challenge.
ReplyDeleteAh this is beautiful. I have lots of bluebells in the garden. They seem to appear from nowhere in different spots every year!!I tried to pop them all in one clump but they always move!!! Hazel xx
ReplyDeleteHi Jules,
ReplyDeletewhat a magnificent card, lovely gorgeous colours. Have a lovely weekend, they seem to come across so quickly. xxx
Oh my Gosh, This is awesome!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful coloring, and such a wonderful blue bell image. I wish I can get it one day (even if it's old...I'm too LOL)
Thanks for your sweet visit. Happy weekend! xx
So pretty - I love the colours you've chosen to complement your bluebells too!
ReplyDeleteJules your bluebells are beautifully coloured and so realistic. There is something quite special about seeing a bluebell wood in full bloom, for sure. Thanks for playing along with us over at As You See It this week!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, bluebells are wonderful, and so is your card ! But I have more favourites, like lilacs, Lily of the Valley... they smell so wonderful ! Hugs, Enny
ReplyDeleteJust stunning Jules, the bluebells and framing are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHugs diane
This is beautiful! I always look forward to seeing these flowers in our yard in the spring!
