fresh & fun

While I am waiting for the UPS man to show….who has obviously not been here yet, I was doing laundry and making dinner. That way…when the boxes finally get here, I won’t have to be bothered with that kind of stuff. LOL

Julee Tilman at Poetic Artistry posted this great sketch:

I thought I try that out while I wait. Anything to kill time. Freaking UPS man! It’s second day air! In San Antonio, they brought those boxes early! Not here though…..I guess in Florida people take things slow…

I started out with a regular sized chocolate chip card base. I layered a 4″ x 5 1/4″ olive piece of Petals & Paisley Designer paper on top of that. I used the ticket corner to punch each corner. I am excited this paper is still in the catalog. I love it.

I punched out two chocolate chip tabs with the window word punch, adhered them on my designer paper and added brads from the vintage assortment.

The pretty in pink designer paper from the Petals & Paisley pack measures 2″ x 5 1/4″. I added a layer of Pumpkin Pie cardstock underneath and and punched the scallop border with my retired corner punch.

The saying and image are from the Fun & Fast Notes stamp set. I stamped the cup in Brown Stazon on watercoloring paper and colored it in with aqua painter and these classic ink pads: Certainly Celery, Old Olive, Apricot Appeal, Pumpkin Pie, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose and Bordering blue.

I ran white organdy ribbon (I can’t believe we don’t carry that anymore…sniff, sniff) around the horizontal layer and adhered the main image on the strip with dimensionals.

The saying and the image come from two different stamps. But since I mounted the saying separately from the images, mixing and matching images with sayings is NO problem!

Remember a long while back, I did a challenge with Lori Craig and Sharon Harnist. I send them each some images of Stampendous bees, some paper and ribbon and we all posted a card with the bees on the same day.

Sharon sent me this gorgeous, stunning, breathtaking card. Thank you Sharon! And congratulations on becoming a design team member for Cornish Heritage! They couldn’t have picked a more talented team member!!!

Just in case you are wondering what I have been doing yesterday? I finished my swaps, read a book in the backyard and played with the kids! Today I am eagerly awaiting my first order of the new catalog. I hope UPS doesn’t come as late as usual! They should know to always deliver SU boxes first, shouldn’t they? It’s going to be like Christmas!!!
