G - Garden - un giardino

oh my I nearly missed this challenge.  Life has been tough over the past two weeks with my mum falling and ending up in hospital and then returning to the home she is in, but not really fit to be there.  Anyhow I made the challenge at The Craft Barn by the skin of my teeth.  I really don't want to miss any of the alphabet out.
This time the focus is on the letter G and I chose to illustrate the word 'garden' which in my Italian dictionary is 'uno giardino'.  I've just bought a set of alphabet stamps (second hand so not sure of make) that have the letter and two words on as well - really like these and will be using them on each page from now on I think.  The main stamped garden images are from a set of clear stamps by PSX that I have had for so long I can't remember when I bought them.  They have gone yellow but still seem to stamp okay.
Hope you like my page - I'm wondering what the next letter will be - only got till tomorrow to find out - a short wait this time!

Love this page. The images are interesting and look great on the dictionary. I wonder about your Italian dictionary though, as uno means one. It should be one word, giardino. Just like our dictionaries the meanings and translations are always slightly different!

Sorry about the uno - I knew when I typed it something was off! It should be `UN` - have now changed it.

I love your "garden" journal pages! Great mix of black & white stamping and color. And the color cutouts give a 3-D effect to your design. Well done!
