It has been Nutty

It's Thursday-this week has been cruising right by, which is a surprise, but then I've been Really busy at work. It does seem that as soon as you get to almost the end of the week the time SLOWS down...so let's hope that doesn't happen!  It's been one of those weeks when I've been tired at night...last night finished just one card (that was already half finished) and then tried to finish another half done card, but that didn't go anywhere. Too tired to come up with anything very creative. I'm hoping tonight to meet my friend Vicky for dinner, I need a break in the work week routine so meeting her here in town is a good thing. Maybe a little change will recharge me.

So you can see I've done a bunch of CHF Kim Hughes and Paper Smooches cards lately. This one is fun, love this hanging squirrel. It is an EASY card too. I used white cardstock, and stamped the acorns (CHF) which I colored yellow. Then I lightly brushed on some blue ink for the sky-yes, today's card is suppose to have a blue tint to it. Then I stamped Mr. Squirrel on white paper, colored him and cut him out. He's glued down by looks like he's hanging on some brown baker's twine. Then I stamped the words on white, colored and outlined the square, and attached it.

And there you go. Wonder how Katie liked it since she's does NOT like squirrels. But I think it is FUNNY.

Have a great day and thanks for visiting.

Summer weather is back

Back into the summer weather...it is HUMID!  I walked this morning and came back dripping.  But it is foggy...and not super sunny. Not sure if it will be a boating day or NOT!

So here is yesterday's lake photos played with a bit, cropped and light adjusted, then put through some filters. love it, especially how orange the sun and its reflection look.

Fits since yesterday we went for a jet ski on the lake and ended up staying for drinks and dinner at out friend's place...totally SPONTANEOUS and what fun!!!!!!!! I love when you have are open and things just happen!

So totday's card is another fun card using Paper Smooches (by Kim Hughes) and Cornish Heritage Farms Kim Hughes stamps. I must say I have fun making cards with these stamp sets.

For this one I started with my blue cardstock and I trimmed it with a torn scrap of polka dot paper. Then in a square of white cardstock I stamped the silly shark, bubbles and seaweed. I attached it and added the saying. I added the the 2 sheels in the left corners and then used the edge of the shells along the white square. All colors are Copics and I did use some blue ink which I tinted the white square. I also added some little Viva pastel blue dots along the left edge and in the middle of the bubbles.

So MUCH FUN!!!!
