Happy Sunday morning to you!!!! The sun is shining and I'm hoping the humidity has broken (at least a little bit)-it's just a beautiful summer day :) This card uses an older Mojo Monday card sketch and it makes for a perfect Simple Sunday card. I picked the color combo using the new color coach-love the new set up!!! The little swatch book is so much nicer than the color wheel...it just seems so much easier to use and that's a big statement from me---that color wheel and I were joined at the hip!!!! And did you notice??? No polka dot paper??? Go me *wink* This is one of the other designs from the dp stack-isn't it pretty?? It's a little more "fancy" than the cards I usually make (since I tend to make cutesy rather than elegant) but it fit the bill perfectly for this card. And nothing says "fancy" better than pearls :) I am loving the new little pearls and rhinestones in the new catty. Sure I have my hot fix tool (which i LOVE) but sometimes it's just easier to stick grab some self adhesive ones rather than heating up the tool (especially since these days I tend to craft with my four year old sitting next to me)...and really who doesn't love bling of all kinds?!!?!?
Materials used (all SU unless noted otherwise): of the earth, occasional quotes; so saffron, tangerine tango, pacific point cs; tangerine tango dp; early espresso ink; always artichoke, brilliant blue, so saffron markers; nestabilities (spellbinders); pearls; very vanilla ribbon; word window, modern label punches
We went to the balloon festival yesterday. It was SO awesome to see all those huge balloons lifting off the ground and flying away. Sadly though we got there and guess what.....my camera battery was dead :( I'm going to try and go back this afternoon to take some pictures. Hopefully today will be a little cooler than yesterday though, man was it H-O-T yesterday!!!! I think we were around 100* (so not typical NJ weather) and the humidity was miserable...SO glad I'm not pregnant *this* summer!!!!
Got a busy week ahead.....I'm scheduled for jury duty this week (oh joy) and then I have my hostess club on Friday night (Yippee!!!!) It seems like forever since I've gotten together with "my girls" I'm looking forward to a fun night of stamping!!!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!!!! I hope you have a wonderful day :) See you tomorrow!
