It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  I’m on the Festive Friday design Team and this week’s challenge #FF0137 is World Conservation Day which is July 28th. World Conservation Day acknowledges that the foundation for a healthy society is a healthy environment. It’s also a day to increase awareness about the importance of protecting our natural resources. The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE of the items in your project and link up! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about World Conservation Day– at all! #festivefridaychallenge  I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you! Even if you’ve never entered a card challenge before, now is the time to start. It’s fun and it’s free! It will help inspire your creativity. Please join us!

From the Inspo List I used copper, foliage, and animals.

I planted this perennial clematis last year in the ground near my back deck. Unlike many climbing plants, clematis don’t grow any aerial roots to attach onto surfaces, nor do they grow any tendrils, so you have to help them out by providing an appropriate trellis or structure to climb on. I told Steve we need to put fishing line across between our deck posts to give it something to climb on. I love the bright pink color. I think next Spring I’ll plant a different color clematis at the other end of the deck and they can meet in the middle. It would be neat to have a clematis grow over an archway. What is your favorite flower to grow? The steps in this picture lead down to my herb garden. I’ll show you that on another day.
