Birthday Card

My first plan for this card was to paint a picture of our home in Vermont.  I made a start and failed miserably.  Dear One suggested that I paint the mailbox.  So I did.  Sort of.

Just to explain this painting...there is the green mailbox at the end of our driveway.  There are a few bushes at the foot of the mailbox then some grass beside the dirt driveway with more bushes on the other side of the driveway.  The brownish part behind the mailbox is the rocky under-the-pines area that never looked like much. 

For some reason I got souped up about the Cricut Expression we have.  I remembered the Walk in My Garden cartridge we have so I made the wheelbarrow full of flowers.  It was marginally successful.  Even though nowhere near perfect, I loved making the card.  And sent it off in time to be received by the birthday it was intended to acknowledge.
