Happy Friday, everyone! Somehow yesterday’s post just totally got forgotten…between convention and partying, I just can’t get back into my routine, LOL! I am gearing up my thank-you card-making, so the next few posts, you’ll probably see lots of thank-you cards! I started with the Freshly Made Sketches sketch for this week:
and got out some notecards to make a couple of these quick little cards:
I didn’t notice until the cards were in the mail that my camera had a dirty smudge on its lens…..so just bear with the blur at the bottom! I stamped the chevron from Work of Art in Strawberry Slush, Daffodil Delight and Coastal Cabana, then added a sentiment and heart from Another Birthday in Bermuda Bay, using the new-to-me Word Bubbles dies. I finished it off with a simple baker’s twine bow. CAS and easy!!!
I haven’t shared many convention photos, so here are a few:
That’s Heidi Boos, Nance Lempinen-Leedy, me, and Linda Callahan!
The famous Justin Krieger!
And me, Nance, Shelli & Sterling Gardener, and Nance’s mom, Nancy!!!
And here’s Cassidy, too….can’t leave her out!
She’s eating a cupcake from the party! I cut it in half horizontally, then put the bottom on the top so you have a cupcake “sandwich” with the frosting in the middle! Yum!
I love your CAS card! The chevrons look fantastic in the vertical position. What I great way to place the sentiment too. Adorable! I've seen that cupcake strategy somewhere before…. :)

ReplyDeleteHey wonderful Lady! I did get the recipes and thank you so much! I am having the back surgery on Aug 11. I am unsubscribing from many blogs and challenges, so I won't have a major backlog. I probably will not get to my computer till Oct. I will re-subscribe then! Thanks for sharing everything and I look forward to seeing your blog and Cassidy too! Blessing to you all!
ReplyDeleteWent ahead and posted last blog for now, until October my friend! Blessings to you! Cheryl
ReplyDeleteLove the bright colored chevrons! Can barely wait to case this one. So clean and fresh! Love all the convention pics too.
ReplyDeleteI love your take on this sketch. What fun to use the chevron for this and in such pretty colours too. This would be a great design for mass production.
