We Create Blog Hop – Summertime
Summertime, and the livin' is easy…. fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high….
My favorite all time Summer Song. Do you have a favorite?
I wish this summer were like that. My summer this year is being spent trying not to melt, especially when I have to pick kiddos up at school (year round school). We did get ourselves some passes to the local waterpark, and we went for the first time the other day – not too bad and the boys love it.
If I had it my way, I would spend much of my time at a beach. It's how I spent my child-hood summers and I miss it terribly. A friend asked me for an Anniversary card for her parents and told me that their favorite place is the beach. I racked my brain for an idea with the stamp sets that I had and there was NOTHING…not a single idea in my head. SO I broke out my re-inkers, my Aqua-painters and got to work…
I love how water color looks on our Shimmery White cardstock…. I really hope that they like it.
I also thought it might be fun to sneak a cute little card in to one of my boys' lunch bags during this ridiculously hot summer…..
So his favorite ice-cream is mint chip. I stamped the "leaves"(?) in Early Espresso on the Mint Macaron cardstock, then blended them in with a Blender Pen to give it the look of the chocolate chips, then I stamped the "ice-cream" image and cut it out. Thank goodness for the Alphabet Rotary stamp – that thing is a serious LIFE SAVER!
Head on over to Julie's blog – I know she'll have something great to share with you today.
You are a true artist! What a gorgeous sunset! You are a much better mom than me, I don’t know if I ever put notes in my kids’ lunches (I think most of the time they made their own!) Can’t wait to see you, cutie!
Love the ice cream card! And the beach sunset is fantastic!!! Way to be creative! 🙂
Mint chocolate chip is my favorite ice cream, so I’ll be CASEing this!! 🙂
