How is your week going so far? Mine’s been pretty busy, but a good busy. We are slowly but surely getting everything ready to head back to Washington for the “summer” (hahaha), so that’s good, I guess. I really should be packing all of my craft supplies that I’m taking back with me, but I just can’t bring myself to do it just yet. It’s actually 3:00 a.m. and I woke up out of a dead sleep, having dreamt of this card. So I figured I might as well get up and create it before I forget it in the morning. Sick, right?! LOL
I created this for the Play Date Café Color Challenge #78, as well as this week’s Clean and Simple Challenge on Splitcoast
Stampers (CAS116 – Rule of Threes). I created the window by using a new die that I got from Papertrey Ink last week. It’s meant to cut out letter blocks, but I thought it would make a great window die. And how sweet are those kids playing outside? I just love silhouettes. The image is from Great Impressions, and the sentiment is from A Muse Artstamps (before they became A Muse Studio). I stitched around the outside of the window to ground it, and had to add some pretty satin ribbon, just to add to the sweet playfulness of the card. I think there’s still a little bit of time to play along with the Play Date Café Color Challenge – and I think there’s a prize involved, so be sure and check it out!Okay, I guess that’s enough rambling . . . think I’ll head back to bed. LOL Hope your day is a beautiful one, and thanks so much for stopping by today! Oh, and before I forget, I might just have a little secret to share with you all, very, very soon.
