Vacationing in Colorado

July 16, 2017

After a forced vacation, no air conditioning a couple of weeks ago, I am vacationing in Colorado. My daughter and her husband live here and it has been 2 years since I was here. It is such beautiful country and their lifestyle though busy, is relaxing for me. I love being in her beautiful home and just love being with my daughter and incredible son-in-law. She is my web designer and she does a great job at listening to me and knowing just want I want for my blog. If you are looking for a blog or web page she will get you started on your blogging process. Just click this link Get Out There Media and it will take you to her information.

I have a card for you today so lets move on to that!

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!

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.
