Hello peeps! Wow, my schedule is way, way off these days. Hopefully things will get back to normal some time soon! Meanwhile, it feels like the middle of August here in SE PA! Hot, hot hot!!! We are having a new A/C and heating unit installed...thankfully the technician put the A/C in FIRST! Woohoo! Anyway, the Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge this week is to use all the new In Colors:
Sometimes bright colors are a challenge for me, but I decided to challenge myself, and here's what I came up with:
I diecut five Tailor Made tags and the letters from "happy" in all the In Color DSPs and mounted them on the tags. The sentiment from Biggest Wish was stamped and fussy cut in Memento Black to coordinate with the Basic Black mat.
I added some DSP "ribbon" at the top of the tags and I diecut a glimmer paper star to add to each one...so fun! In hindsight, I wish I had raised the letters a wee bit, but it is what it is! I also used the new Timber EF, which gives it a bit of a masculine feel:
I appreciate your stopping by today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
I wanted to share a couple of the sympathy cards we got as we mourn Ganae's passing. This one is from Robyn:
She knows I love those coral hues! And this one is from my friend Joanne, from across the pond...AND it has an amazing poem on the inside. One of these days, I'll share it!
I love them both! Thank you ladies!
