Happy Monday, peeps! It's another beautiful day here in PA and it was a beautiful day for our picnic yesterday! But I was exhausted afterwards and didn't stamp at all! So I took some time this morning to celebrate almost-here summer with a card that uses the sketch from Atlantic Hearts as well as the theme from Make My Monday, which is summer fun!
I pulled out some summery papers along with a surfboard stamp set that I bought a couple of years ago and have never used! Yikes! So here we go:
Basically a very simple card....layers of fun papers, and I stamped the surfboards on some scraps of the same papers and colored them in with blends.
The sentiment was heat-embossed on vellum and diecut with a rectangle die:
On the inside, a sentiment from the new Charming Sentiments:
I've been doing a few crafty things lately, mostly cross stitch; I made this little pillow for my niece's new little baby boy, due in a couple of weeks, it's to hang on his crib:
And I had been knitting a few little stockings, to practice my Fair Isle skills, so I took one and made it into a baby's first ornament:
I can see that tag getting all bent up from year to year, but oh well! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

LeAnne!!!!!! Your cross stitched pillow and the knitted ornament made my Monday!! Sooooo stinking adorable! Not to mention super impressive. I can knit scarves and that's it. Adding a pattern, yikes!! Your card is also adorable.

Love the cross stitch pillow! Is the pattern your own or is it available to purchase or as a freebie somewhere? I like to cross stitch, too.
ReplyDeleteAnd the card is a keeper, too.
Thanks.
