Amy has a fun sketch for us this week at Freshly Made Sketches. I am sliding in a day late but I couldn't resist playing with it. Paint and Palette Dies from Honey Bee worked perfectly with the sketch! A spattered backdrop and sentiment from Colorado Craft completed the look.
Our summer is off to a very busy start but I am hoping that July brings a few quiet days of just hanging out on the porch or up at the lake!
Hope you join us at Freshly Made Sketches!
A heat wave rolled in on Sunday.....which got only worse on Monday and totally unbearable on Tuesday with another day on tap for Wednesday. We don't have central air in our house because honestly where I live we don't need it......until now! Wow it's hot!
Monday night I decided to brave the heat upstairs in my craft room to tackle my FMS card. It was so hot upstairs even with a fan that I decided I needed a thirty minute or less card. So I scrambled through the huge mess on my desk left from the Concord and 9th Summer Camp I "attended" over the weekend. I found bits and pieces left over from classes so I embossed a background and boom I was done! I snapped a few photos, uploaded them to my computer then wrote the card to a friend to go out in the morning mail.
Tuesday afternoon I was typing my post at Emma's while her mom was at work and I noticed something not quite right in the photo. The cone flower was upside down! I may have said a choice word which got Emma's attention.....and she gave me some very sage advice...."Amma....Let it be....just let it be".....
Hope your craft room is cooler than mine these days and you can join us at Freshly Made Sketches! Narelle has a great design for us! And if a flower is upside down.....let it be....
Stamp Sets: Garden of Gratitude, Pressed Poppies (Concord and 9th)
For a six year old kiddo Will certainly has had his share of graduations! We went to a sweet nursery school graduation when he was 4.....then then a rollicking pre-K graduation complete with dance routines and rock and roll! Next week will be a moving up ceremony from Kindergarten. He has done well in Kindergarten but if you ask him about the best part of his day he always says "riding the bus!" He only lives four blocks from school but since it is on a very busy street he is eligible for a bus ride. As someone who took a bus to school as well I totally get it......it was very entertaining!
Michele has a sweet sketch for us this week at Freshly Made Sketches! She would love to see what creative projects you come up with - and so would I!
Popcorn and a movie......one of the best partnerships in life! Emma and Will were here for pizza last night and we had a discussion on movies. I asked them for recommendations for my summer viewing. Let's just say that the movie choices of a six year old boy, a twelve year old girl and a 75 year old grandma are light years apart! But it made for a lively discussion and we all agreed that popcorn is a must! That conversation definitely led me to use Stampin' Up's new popcorn set Poppin' By!
Karren has a great sketch for us this week at Freshly Made Sketches - hope you join us!
