Sitting in the Sun

It has been calm and quiet the past few nights and I’ve enjoyed sitting outside on the adirondack chairs with my hubby.  I find this very soothing, except when the mosquitoes come out.  Team member Wendy Tikk made this card for a meeting back in June and I just came across the picture tonight and thought it was quite fitting.

The Colorful Season stamp set has so many great images and they cover all four seasons very well and of course to me the best part is the coordinating Seasonal Layers Thinlits to help cut out those wonderful images.

The Wood Textures designer paper is the perfect background on this card and the flowers work well for spring or summer.  I love the Thinking of You phrase and two adirondack chairs.

Pretty Little Daisies

As I was designing for my Suite Surprise — Daisy Delight Class this month I found this fabulous card on Pinterest.  The designer was Sharon Burkert.  I loved everything about her card.  Normally I make my adjustments to a card layout that I like.  Sharon’s card was perfect to me and I just couldn’t change a thing.  Here is my “cased” card — so beautiful.
