Good morning! I hope you had a good weekend and the start of your week was okay. Our weather here yesterday was in the 80’s . . . I almost don’t know what to do with myself. I would love to get out and work in the yard . . . but in reality, it’s going to be in the 50’s later in the week. Needless to say, I’ve enjoyed my time in the sun walking the little shitzes!
When I was working on my card for The E-Team hop last week, one of my choices was to use Crafty Secrets Creative Scraps – Farm Fresh. There is an image on this scrap that reminds me of an old picture I have of my aunt. She’s all scrunched down, sitting on her heels with her head tilted up just a bit. Yesterday when I was looking for something to do, I decided to make a card with this image.
This card truly took me longer than it should have and I wasted tons of time trying to get the ribbon just right. I wanted red, felt like the card needed red, but alas . . . no red. I just couldn’t get the correct color of red to work with the cardstock. Now that I think about it . . . duh! . . . I had my old SU ink in this color that I could have used on my seam binding! Well hell. Lesson learned I suppose.
I ended up dying the seam binding with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and misting with tons of water. I did the same thing for the May Arts Crochet Lace too . . .
Well, that’s it for now. Thanks for stopping by and remember . . . life is short, embrace the adventures that come your way!
Just now, as I typed the last sentence, I thought of yesterday. A friend of mine from high school has a gospel band, Younger Than Noah.
They were here in town over the weekend and gave a concert yesterday afternoon. I sat here waffling, do I go or do I not go. I finally to go and I’m so glad I did. I embraced the adventure and had a wonderful time seeing old friends from school, and hearing Tom sing his new song, My Hometown, for the very first time . . . I am so glad I went!
