Now, I don't know about you, but I keep seeing people talk about how they are ready for fall weather... and I just have one thing to say about that. I'M NOT!!! I love summer and I want it to last as long as it is willing. We tend to get short summers here in Mass, so I am enjoying the pleasant August weather! So, I decided to stick with Summer for my card today! Are you all cool with that? K. Good. (Yes, I'm assuming you all said yes, because I can't imagine that ANYONE would ever possibly disagree with me, as I am always right on these matters. Just say'n. HA!)
I started out with several sheets of Echo Park papers from the Summer Days collection. These are just too fun! The stamps are Samantha Walker's Sweet Life stamp set for Unity. I stamped them on the Echo Park paper with Momento inks and added chalk details for a bit of dimension. Oh...and sprinkles, of course. 'Cause ya GOTTA have sprinkles! Just say'n.
The giant fabulous pink and white ribbon is from May Arts and I {heart} it big time. For reals. I added a simple sentiment sticker from Cosmo Cricket. (Tip of the Day: If you want to add a sticker and give it dimension, use a soft bristled paint brush to brush the sticky back with cornstarch. This will eliminate the stick and allow you to use foam adhesive to adhere your accent. One of my favorite tricks!)
So, there you have it...my piece of extended summer! So far, so good. Today and tomorrow are expected to be beautiful low 80's kinda days - *sigh* - love it! Let's hold on to summer a long as we can...changes come around real soon and then we're .... (Oh...wait...I think that's sixteen that he was holding on to, oh, well. I prefer summer to sixteen. Just say'n. HA!)
I am also joining in the Scrapp'in It Summer Card Challenge!
Yep you always have to have sprinkles!!
ReplyDeletethis is just way too cute--i just bought some ice cream cone stamps! love it!
ReplyDeleteThat is so adorable! I love, love, love that paper line. I'm not ready for fall, but after 3 solid months of 90+ degree temps, I'm ready for a couple months of 70 degree weather. A cool off would be so refreshing! But the sunshine needs to stick around! :)
ReplyDeleteOh this is super adorable!
