Counting The Reasons Why I Love You - The Scrappiest #128

The weather here in Maryland has been gorgeous the last few days!  Temps in the 80's with a nice breeze.  I've taken advantage of it and have been spending time outdoors tending to my flower gardens.  The hot humid days are expected to make a return any day now.

I've got a layout to share of my mom.  
It was taken years ago.  She is sitting on the steps of the house I grew up in. 
I used my July Artful Delight kit along with sketch #128 from The Scrappiest, which I flipped.
I got a little adventurous on my layout and actually did a  little stamping.  I used a brick wall stamp from Prima  and a doily stamp from My Mind's Eye.
I also used a stitching template from Bazzill to make the pretty flowers.
There is still plenty of time to enter the sketch challenge over at Artful Delight for a chance to win the July kit.  You can check it out here.
Have a great weekend!
Thanks for stopping by!
