Wow it’s Friday and the week seems to have flown by. All that stamping I was going to get done this week has been added to the things to do next week. What was it that Scarlet said, “Tomorrow is another day.”
I’ve been trying all day to work on a card for today’s Limited Supply Challenge on Splitcoast. Between phone calls, kids running in and out (I know I’ll miss that in a few weeks), little errands here and there, I have finally finished it. Today’s challenge is a summer theme card – celebrating what we love best about summer. Well for me, summer is water. When my girls were small we would spend a few hours each day at the pool. I love the beach – it’s truly one of the most relaxing vacations for me. I also love to boat and be out floating in the river, a cold Miller Lite in my hand, just relaxing. For me, it made sense to use Hit the Beach from My Favorite Things for my card today —– SO, here we go, Soak up the Sun!
Stamps: Hit the Beach from My Favorite Things
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Dusty Concord, Old Paper and Vintage Photo
Paper: Elegant Eggplant, Storytime by Cosmo Cricket

On a more exciting note, Michele Boyer is having a contest on her blog for the set Let’s Hear it for the Boys from My Favorite Things. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post. You have until August 14th.
I will be going to the Stampaway Convention in Cincinnati tomorrow. I’m so excited!!!! I’m going to meet some of my stalkin’ buds from Splitcoast, shop and eat. I’ll have some pics for you later and hopefully some fun stories to share!
What time did you say it was, Sherry? Oh, yes, it’s Miller Time!! Cute card -slthough I still wish these images had heads!!
What a cool card Sherry. I should give you a shopping list for the weekend. 🙂
Can’t wait to see pics and hear stories…….bet Cincinnati will need some time to recover from the SCS buddies visiting, chatting, laughing, shopping, and just plain causing a rucus………..enjoy, friends
I could stand a dunk in the water right about now–I’ve been outside digging with a pick axe all afternoon. Not my idea of summer fun! Back in the days when I looked good in a bikini I spent most available summer days in the water or laying in the sun, just like your card. I still love the water, though. I sure do like your card! The blue scallops make it look like she’s laying on the water’s edge. Love the beachball in the punched circle. Watch out–it might float away! Love the stitches and the ribbon, too. Ahhhhhh, I feel more relaxed already!
Very cute! Love the window and the sand!!
I love the pretty colors of this, and the sewing! The card sure says Summertime to me! Love it!
this is a great summer card. very nice layout.
