Have A Coke and A Smile.....FMS

 


I admit I am a total fan of Coca Cola! When Concord and 9th gifted the summer camp participants with a small exclusive die set I was delighted to receive a soda can set! And naturally my first project had to be a Coke.  Tea for breakfast......Coke at lunch.....Milk for dinner.....I am so boringly predictable! But it has been that way since they installed a Coke dispenser in my college dining hall over 55 years ago - yikes! And if a waiter tries to sneak in a Pepsi instead of a Coke - look out! I won't be happy!

The can and the Hugs sentiment are both sparkly but that is hard to see in the photo. This will be sent to a friend who is a bit under the weather and also appreciates the "medicinal" qualities of a Coke!




Have fun with Jen Mitchell's great sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches! Hope you join us!

Sailing Through Summer.....FMS695

 



Wow where has this week gone?!? Summer seems to just fly by! We traveled to my niece's graduation party, picked up my new car, painted the pantry and actually squeezed in a day of reading on the porch! Also managed to sneak in a lot of take out food because my kitchen was upside down.  Back to reality this week!

Stampin' Up!'s Sunrise Sailing Embossing Folder is beautfully detailed so I decided to let it take center stage on this retirement card. Kintsugi Inspiration DSP is an elegant backdrop for the embossed scene.

Let's Celebrate....FMS694

 


Cheers to summer celebrations! Whether you are celebrating a graduation, a birthday or just summer vacation the new Cheers and Sips Bundle from Stampin' Up! has all the ingredients for a good time! June was very busy around here so I am looking forward to a calmer July that includes lots of reading on the porch and lemonade!

Pretty Palette.....FMS693

 


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!
