Happy Thursday, peeps! Time for another Inspired By:
Well.....now I have nothing that says"quiet" in my large stamp collection....so I chose to concentrate of those shutters and the colors! I am happy with the way it turned out:
I pulled out some oldies for this card today! I had seen this pretty layout from Susan at Simplicity and knew I wanted to use it for my three panels....I just positioned mine a little differently so that I could add my sentiment and the background embossing would show! SO....I inked up my retired Floral background stamp in three colors: Soft Sky, Soft Seafoam and Tim Holtz Antique Linen, on Naturals White cardstock and used a Stitched Rectangle die to cut them all out:
I also stamped the "imagine" in Soft Sky, and went looking in my dusty embellishments bin, where I found a chipboard bird and an organdy rose; they seemed to go nicely! My final embellishment was some Soft Sky seam binding, which I shabbied up and made into a bow, then adhered to my sentiment:

(I love the goatee)....and when he opened it up, she had drawn the Philaldelphia 76er's logo (they're going to a game on Friday), printed and cut out a picture of him (with added goatee), and had it signed by all her classmates and the kids at the pre-school program she goes to:
He was very surprised...as were Mommy, Grampy and I! What a kid! Enjoy your day and be blessed!
