No Air Conditioning!

June 22, 2017

I came home from my final Catalog Kick-Off on last Friday to discover that my air conditioning in my home had gone out! We have had temperatures of 107 – 108 for the last 5 days with no air conditioning. Typically in the Sacramento area we get a wonderful delta breeze at night and it cools everything off so nicely. Sorry no delta breeze for us. It has been 90 degrees at 11:00 at night. My home has reached a high of 98 degrees inside, most afternoons. But there is help on the way! Friday morning at 6:30am the new air conditioner will arrive!!! So Friday night we will sleep. It is so hard to sleep when it is that hot and there is nothing refreshing about sleeping in the heat. You just wake up tired and drained. We have spent a lot of time in the pool but it isn’t even refreshingly cool now because of the high temperatures; it has become a tepid bath. Now I am done venting, how about a cute card?

This is one of my Catalog Kick-Off cards. Each of the cards I created were in one of the new In Colors. This one is in Tranquil Tide and uses the Eastern Palace Suite. It took me a while to purchase that suite (2 months!) but now that I have played with it, I love it! I know it is one that I will use over and over.

PAPERS:
Tranquil Tide 4 1/4 x 9 5/8 (score @ 4 1/4) 1 1/4 x 9 (score @ 4 1/4) 3 1/2 x 3 /2, 1 1/2 x 1 1/2
Gold Foil – 3 1/2 x 3 1/2, 2 x 2, 2 1/4 x 2 1/4
Whisper White – 4 x 4 (2), 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 (2)

I’m thrilled to share how I created a simple yet stunning sympathy card using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper and the Prairie Grass Stamp Set. The delicate patterns from the Designer Series Paper perfectly complemented the graceful prairie grass images, giving the card an elegant touch during such a heartfelt time. Personalizing it with heartfelt sentiments made it all the more special. If you’re looking to create something meaningful, this combination is sure to inspire! Below are a few more images showing other papers from the same pack

Some days these blog posts go so smooth I think I can do them in my sleep, other days everything goes crazy! This was one of those days. It's finally done! This card was CASED from Rachel Tessman with the change of several things. Of course that is allowed in the stamping world. We take each other's ideas and change them to our own liking and republish them. There are so many ideas out there to share. This is another one of the cards that I did with my clubs this month. It looks complicated but it really isn't and comes out to be a fun card to give. Be sure to watch the video if you are making the card. I will give you some trips on how to make it come out beautiful and download the FREE Project Sheet Below.
