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.
Jen Timko has a wide open sketch for us this week at Freshly Made Sketches! Hope you join us!
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!
Judy has a great sketch for us this week at Freshly Made Sketches! Hope you join us!
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....
