Great Impressions Stamps - Sit and Ponder

Good Morning & Happy Monday!   I have a new card using a fun stamp from Great Impressions Stamps.    I love this trio sitting on the hill and enjoying the day.

 

2013-05-13 GI Sit and Ponder WM

 

To create the clouds, I followed a tutorial from Barbara at Forgotten Scraps.    Although my clouds don’t look any where as fabulous as hers do, I am happy with the overall result.    The overall card design was inspired by this beautiful card from Cindy Lawrence of the Creative Closet.

I hope you have a wonderful week!  Thank you for stopping by!

It has been a really long time since I have been able to spend time in my craft room.  One of my New Years resolutions was to get back into my craft room on a regular basis.  Well, it is now October and I am finally here.  I'm hoping to be back more often.

I made this card to send to a family member that has been in my thoughts a lot lately.



I hope to have more to share soon.

Just make a project that includes the color green and come join our party at the Catered Crop.For my project, I dug out a photo of of our sweet Summer was taken about a year ago.   Although I have been pretty lax about scrapbooking the last few years, I really wanted to make sure I created a page with this photo for my daughter’s scrap book.   We lost Summer, who was a member of our family for almost 15 years, in February so this page seemed especially important to me.After finding some paper that used a lot of green in it, I used lots of various odds and ends that I found in my craft room.  I mixed various stickers and die cuts from other projects to create this page.  As always, Linda has curated a fabulous Pinterest board to get our create mojo working.  (Don’t you just love her boards?)    You can go directly to Linda’s “Green”board by cl…
