Summer Images......FMS448

 

Oh that beautiful wavy paper is the perfect backdrop for my stamped images from the Whale Done bundle!  No vacation trips to the ocean for us this year because of you know what but it has been a gloriously warm sunny summer.  Perhaps a bit too warm.......

Guess I should have removed the candle from the dining room windowsill yesterday....lol.....

I hope you find some time this week to play around with Jen Brum's  fun sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!

 

                                                   

Stamp Set: Whale Done

Paper: Whisper White, Whale of a Time DSP

Ink: Bumblebee, Just Jade, Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point, Seaside Spray

Fusion: Fruit

I knew there was a reason why I saved this last swatch of designer paper from two - or maybe three - years ago. It has lived in my scrap basket just waiting for its moment to shine. Its glossiness is lost in the photo but in person it steals the show!

Our growing summer growing season here is very short but Miss E and her friends managed to pick quite a few fresh blueberries recently.

Which led to these treats......

Gotta love summer sweetness!

I love combining both the sketch and the photo at Fusion!  Hope you join us!

Stamps: Fruit and Flowers (SU), Bloom by Bloom (SU), Fresh and Fruity (Sunny Studio)

Ink: Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green, Blueberry Bushel

Gnome For The Holidays....FMS 447

Why do I look at that little guy and think he is inviting us all in for the holidays......or maybe he is just saying "to gno-me is to love me" or "I love you gnome-atter what" or "I'll be gnome for Christmas".....and I bet you now have a few ideas of your own on what he might be saying.....

Lots of possibilities with Kim's wonderful sketch this week!  Hope you join us at Freshly Made Sketches!

Stamp Review Crew: Beautiful World

Welcome to another Stamp Review Crew Hop.  Today we are featuring the gorgeous Stampin' Up! set Beautiful World.  The possibilities with this set are endless so I hope our hop gives you some good ideas!

I used the stamp set along with the coordinating designer series paper for a finished look.  This makes a perfect graduation card!  

This guy hasn't even thought about school or graduations yet but Willy Bear seems ready for an adventure!  #numberonegrandson
