Grumpy Gertrude - Fake Plants

Good morning and welcome to Catch the Bug's Freebie Friday! Today's freebie is Grump Gertrude - Fake Plants. Most of the time I'm much better with plants than Gertrude is, my Anthurium plant is thriving which is amazing because its cold in this house at night 16C and during the day its only 20C and right now its - 25C outside so its cold by the windows. I would say its a very hardy plant! 

Grumpy Gertrude's fake plants aren't so lucky, lol! Drop on by Catch the Bug and see what the other DT created with this image and then hop on over to Bugaboo to grab your freebie. While you're there take a look at all the stamps they are 50% off until December 31! Happy shopping.

Floral Jug

Good morning, today starts a new challenge at Doodle Pantry AIMPDC#18!

I just finished buying all the plants/flowers I'm going to put in this year so on the weekend I'll be busy and hopefully we're finished with the frost in the morning! The rule of thumb here is "Don't plant until after the May long weekend!" We've had some major blizzards before and on the long weekend it can be nasty. I made a card with Doodle Pantry's Floral Jug so I would have flowers early, lol! I printed the image twice so I could pop up the main flower. Join in  AIMPDC#18 you could win fantastic stamps and you have until the 24th to create something! Remember you can only enter once and your project must have a digital image, any digital image it does not have to be Doodle Pantry's. However there are a lot of freebie here if you wish to use one!
