Hello Everyone! We got home (to Canada, not Fort McMurray yet) from Disneyland on Thursday night, spent Friday doing some running around and shopping for things we can't get in F.M. and then today was the Edmonton SU Regional!!!! I had so much fun and was so excited that someone who wasn't able to go (sorry for her) sold her ticket to my friend Melissa!!!! I had Melissa to myself all day long and she got to go to her first SU event - lots of fun all around! Jason, the kids, and I, are doing a Costco run tomorrow and then driving the rest of the way home. I will be VERY happy to be in my own bed again :)
This is a card that I made before I left on holidays. I was inspired by a card in the current issue of PaperCrafts magazine and adapted it with my SU stamps and supplies. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out - I hope the recepient likes it as well!
Here we all are at the entrance to DL! Notice my entirely appropriate flip flops...... I did look for some better 'walking' shoes (without resorting to runners) before we left but wasn't able to find any that I liked. I found out the hard way, that my beautiful summer footwear was not built for the huge amount of walking we did while we were away. I totally trashed two pairs of sandals...... Oh well - at least sandal season is pretty much over hear and I won't have to worry about replacing them until next year!
Edit - For the card I used the Baker's Twine to make the circles and sponge daubers with the Classinc ink to colour them once I had make them. For the background I stamped En Francais in Versamark and Inspired by Nature in Sahara Sand that was stamped off once and embossed the whole thing with clear ep.

I love the card you made. Can you tell me a little more about how you created it. What did you use for the "circles" (was it twine) and how did you color them?
ReplyDeleteFor the background, it looks like you used a few different stamps - what color did you emboss them - it's subtle but very appealing!
Thanks
