Traveling Birthday!

Did you have a happy 4th of July weekend? Ours was busy, happy and good. And hot... 

Today I have a late post, and a happy card!

I almost never use four stamp sets on one project, but here we are! I needed Neuschwanstein Castle (been there!) and the Arc de Triomphe, and thought this Eiffel Tower looked like a good enough match in style (not really, but it's close enough). Then the images fit perfectly for this color blocked look using the latest from TGIF Challenges! 

Supplies:

Stamps: Chase Your Dreams, Artistic Etchings, Lets Get Away, Special Moments (all long retired!)

Ink: Memento Black

Paper: Basic White, Basic Black, Coastal Cabana, Lemon Lime Twist

Accessories: Classic Matte Dots  

And it's going out in the mail in the morning! 

Purple Flowers

Happy July! 
I don't know about your neck of the woods but around here it's been a little bleak.
We have a lot of terrible wild fires surrounding our area and we've had days of raining ash and days of yellow skies and it is definitely taking a toll, physically and mentally. It is too hot and blah to be outside enjoying summer, soo we kind of haven't. (altho we did have two really nice weather days this past weekend, which was a huge blessing!)
I don't know anything about soccer (seriously, I watched my middle kiddo play for six years and barely caught on her last season!) but I have enjoyed the fun social media posts about the World Cup. Other than that, not loving social media. Wow, people are grumpy. 
And SO. I have delivered cookies and mailed cards out to people I've noticed could use a bit of brightening to their day. 
Which means I needed to make some. ha. 

And so, today I have the colors from CAS Colours & Sketches, and I think it's CAS enough... tho I did sneak in a few flower centers of Crumb Cake...
Just some happy flowers to hopefully cheer up a friend of mine.

Supplies:

Stamps: Cheerful Daisies

Ink: Gorgeous Grape, Blackberry Bliss, Garden Green, Crumb Cake

Paper: Basic White card stock

Accessories: Dimensionals 

anyway. You should send out cards too. Share some love and not all the grumpiness and negativity. It's a good mid-year goal, haha.
