I am super excited to be here today as a Guest Designer for the amazing blog Live & Love Crafts! I just love the design team over there, such a talented group of shabby chic ladies, and it is such a complete honour to get to craft along side of them for the month of August!! I will be here every Friday this month with another shabby creation using products from Sandra's shop Live & Love Crafts, so come and join in on the fun!
I have put together this vintage garden card using papers from Pion Design collections Linneaus Botanical Journal, and Easter Greetings. They coordinate so well together! Lots of bits and goodies from Sandra's shop which I have listed below with a link to each product.
All of the following products that I used can be purchased at Live & Love Crafts:

So today I thought I would show you what we discovered up the old stone steps in Belfountain Park. There was a very beautiful landing and some crazy stairs that led to a secret cave in the side of the mountain. So very cool!!
It was pitch black inside the cave and it was barred off, so I turned on the flash, stuck my lens through the bars and snapped off a shot. How freaking cool is this, it's like a torture room in an old dungeon, and I really wanted inside so I can see if it was haunted!! lol
Well that was fun, now to go back up the stairs. These steps were nuts I tell you, just whack a doo! Each one was almost knee high. I practically had to pole vault to get up them! Hey Mister, first day out of architecture school or was your ruler just broken?? lol
Here is the view of the crazy stairs and secret cave as seen from the bridge when we looked back over our shoulder. Good thing I didn't see it from this angle before we went over there (she says as she makes chicken clucking noises)! lol
Well off we go, across the bridge and into the unknown. To be continued on Monday with more crazy adventures of our Escape from Belfountain mountain!! lol
And back on the home front, it seems while I was away, our baby Sparrow has mastered the flight from the tree to the bird feeder and is now right at home on the shelf. So happy for her!! You go girl!
Crazy stairs, told ya!
Then suddenly, we were over top of the river...
right beside the waterfalls...
and underneath the bridge! WHAT!!!

Mr and Mrs Grackle having a wee chat in the tree. Is it just me, or is she giving him the WHAT-FOR!
It seems my dream of having a baby squirrel daycare center might be coming true!! Word is getting around and I have another newcomer to the children's wing of my patio. Everyone meet MIMI. Her name is a variation on the word 'mini' because of her itty bitty teeny tiny tail. So cute!
MR GREYSON TWITCHY says hello from the railing as he chows down on a carrot.
And JUNIOR takes a wee break from playtime and lays down not two feet away from me on the patio floor. Oh how I wish I could scoop him up and put him in my pocket!! Totes Cute!!
and to finish up, my token after dinner shot...
That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. If you have any questions or interesting tidbits about today's wildlife, please let me know.
