Pickin' Cherries

Happy Monday craft lovers!  I hope all of my American friends had a fabulous and safe Independence Day?  I know we did, burgers, dogs and chips!  Yummy!   The twins were over and they went swimming and waved sparklers then we roasted marshmallows for S'mores and the best show of fireworks hubby's ever done!!!  All the Grandma's, Grandpa's and local loved ones together!  Great fun!

Today I'm going to share one of my favorite NEW Lilly Mae illustrations that is now on sale in here in the store where you can save 25% until tomorrow!!  The design paper is Authentique and full of little dusty brown birds on tree limbs and a beautiful color coordinated wood grain.  

The image was colored with my copics and cut with Spellbinders dies.  I've loaded the right side with blossom die cuts from the Darling Squares set of dies and the left with bits and bobs from my stash.  There's even a little cherry charm and a beautiful red and white stick pin too that match the beautiful butterflies from Angelica's Etsy Shop!  

This project is loaded with extras that work together to create a summer scene that brings back wonderful old memories of when we were young!
