Hello and happy Friday, friends! Just a little something I colored for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge -- "On the Farm" -- for March. Wait, what? That was two months ago. At that time I pulled this stamp out thinking it was my one not-yet-used Penny Black stamp that looked somewhat farm-y, and then I don't know what happened, but I didn't get it done until now. That's the way it goes in my stamp room -- I'm easily sidetracked.
I'm enjoying my playtime with last year's Penny Black stamps before I start on the new Penny Black. This one is from the Scent of Spring set. Looks like someone's been gathering eggs. Stamped in Memento London Fog and colored with Copics. A little gingham and wood grain helps with the countrified look.
Down home at the Miller residence Sophie is happy to be helping in the garden. See her smile? She's my sweetheart.
Playing along here today:

This is darling, Leslie! What a sweet farmhouse image, colored to perfection. Sweet Sophie is adorable in front of your beautiful azalea bush. How do you get it to bloom so profusely?? Mine has blooms along the bottom, but no where else.
Well shucks, sorry you missed the March entry, but so happy you shared it with us! Loving those spring blooms and that darling touch of plaid you added to the bottom. Speaking of spring blooms... Miss Sophie found the perfect lace to pose!
what an adorable scene, Leslie.
Your farm scene is delightful Leslie and I'm sorry you missed the March deadline but the card is still definitely show worthy! Of course you know though that sweet Sophie steals the show for me...just LOVE that smiling face!! Give her a big hug for me please?!! Hugs. :0)
I don't know which I love more: your darling country-farmstand card or that gorgeous blond of yours!! BOTH spectacular and equally wonderful, Leslie! [Sophie looks as gorgeous as Lulu did with your Azaleas!]

I can see why you had to have this stamp, it is beautiful, love, love your country look, such a well thought out card, perfection!! Look how pretty and happy Sophie is, last night when I got home I leaned down to give Mr Mack a hug and he reared up his head and hit my glasses and today I have the biggest black eye ever!!
Ooh, I love your tablescape, Leslie! That red and white tablecloth is brilliant and you have colored each item beautifully! Sophie is a sweetheart! What a wonderful photo!
what a sweet little summer farm scene, it reminds me of a friends farm with the eggs and the flowers ♥
Beautiful.
Leslie, love your card today. Very farm-y homey feeling to this. Love the bit of red gingham, it just pulls i t all together. Beautifully coloured and created. And Sophie, she is so beautiful! Hugs,
LuLu is sharing her beautiful flowers with Sophie...what a cute pic! I love your Penny Black Ensemble. Coloring is superb and how clever to stamp with London Fog Memento. I learned something new! It's always such a treat to see your posts show up in my email. I'm glad you still create beautiful cards and I wish I could sit in your garden one day with your beautiful Sophie. xxx
I always love your colouring. This is wonderful and yes, that happens to me too. So easily sidetracked or time just runs out. Sophie looks so healthy and happy. I am glad you have her. That azalia? looks amazing too. Love the vibrant pink xx
This is adorable!
Great card my friend but I always love it when you post photos of Miss Sophie! She is one gorgeous ladybug!
Oh I just love the combo of things in this stamp, terrific coloring and great sentiment to go with it. I agree that the gingham border, jute and the distressed wood piece compliments that stamp very well and finishes off the card beautifully!
Beautiful card Leslie, love the layout and details, how adorable is Sophie, beautiful colour. hugs Pam x
Penny Black is delightful any time you use it, Leslie! Although I can't wait until you get to this year's new stamps, lol! An adorable card that has elements that complement each other so well. You are so good at this craft, dear friend!
What a great Spring card! I don't know which I love more the little birdhouse or adorable Sophie. Our Daisy is going to have a little sister to play with. They pick her up next week which is good as Jennifer will be out of school soon!
Gorgeous card with bright and cheery colours, Leslie. Definitely looks farm-like, especially with your mix of fantastic patterned papers. LOVE Sophie ... and her beautiful white coat just pops against all the hot pink flowers. So beautiful. I can see her sweet smile! :) xx
BEAUTIFUL!!! Your coloring is perfect (as always) and the red gingham is PERFECT with this sweet springtime image! And look at Ms. Sophie ... how pretty she is posed within that gorgeous hot pink azalea (I'm assuming it's an azalea lol). Awesome post as always!!
Perfect "country-ness." I love the gingham. And thanks for the picture of Sophie!
Beautiful card - wonderful colouring!
Thanks for playing at the Penny Black Saturday Challenge!
