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!
