So today's card does NOT feature raspberries, but it features another summer fruit that is pretty darn tasty...strawberries! Is there anyone who doesn't love strawberries?! Probably but only if they are allergic I think, otherwise they would have to be Ca-razy! :) So this card is for the Lawnscaping Paper Piecing Challenge going on right now. I lurve paper piecing and had sooo much fun with the various shades of red and pink for the strawberries. They just look delectable to me. I struggled making the basket, but loved the idea and the DP seemed perfect so I worked my way through it. I feel that the banner totally finishes this off nicely. It will make a fun love or thank you card.
I also wanted to tell you I am LOVING the answers to the question of the day and I am going to have to post some of my favorite responses b/c they crack me up. Not sure when I'll compile them yet, but how about a teaser for now.... In this post I mentioned I had a goat named goatie when I was a child and asked what your oh-so-clever pet names where...here are two hillarious answers:
From Lyn at mypurplehouse- My first pet that was truly mine was a basset hound that I named Norm(an) after the character in Cheers - and just like the cheers Norm when people saw my little guy, they would yell "Norm!!" HaHa I loved that dog!
From Monica- My kids won a goldfish at a school carnival, which they named "Flushie" because... well... yes, they had to flush him days later.
Have a tasty day!

LOVE your darling daughter's photo, Katie! I haven't piced raspberries before and have yet to try that out! Must be fun! When my kids were little, we had a gold fish named "Goldie"--much like your Goatie! I love the stawberry card--the use of pattern paper and images are superb!! Well done!
Okay, now how cute is your girl?!!!!
Berry picking, that looks like so much fun. I seriously want to make jam too!
Your strawberry card is very sweet...strawberries are my favs...use to have them everyday at work for breakfast, making them into a yogurt parfait, now I just do the Chobani Flips...
Hilarious flushie story :)
your daughter is soooo cute. I love berry picking as well. We are going to pick blueberry this weekend. cute and sweet card as well.
Hahhaa love the goat story.
Berries....well we rented a small cabin at a private lake in Mason County last summer. I also invited my bestie over for a day and as the boys played on the lake with the paddleboat, we walked the lake picking wild Salal berries. They are somewhat like a cross between blueberry and huckleberry. Later we sat and chatted away as we cleaned them.
The funniest thing was we would walk and hear a ting-a-ling faintly..I fessed up and told her it was me - you see..I told her, We had to bring bells, as there could be bears..
Yup.....You guessed it..She wanted to go right back to the cabin..
I still have them berries in the freezer. It took us forever to get a gallon! Not enough for much.. I told her eventually I would make her syrup.
Aww, such a sweet card! That basket that you created is adorable!! Thanks for playing along with us at Lawnscaping! :)
