Do you remember that saying, “Be careful what you wish for?” Well all of you out there (me included, but
especially Tamie Ackerson), should be saying that to yourself right about
now. Remember about 3 months ago when we
were all complaining about the cold weather and wishing Spring would get
here?? Well, obviously we all wished a
little too much – we bypassed Spring again this year and went right into August
dog days!!! The last time I went outside
today, it was 100 degrees! Good news, it
will only be in the mid-90s tomorrow (or so they say, which you know we can’t
count on). I really feel sorry for those
living south of us. Needless to say, the
swimming pond had another big day of visitors.
I did sneak in a little time today to pull out one of my new
stamps and make a card – it felt sooooo gooood!!! Nothing spectacular, but something a little
different than all the samples I have been seeing (definitely not what you would
have thought I would want to use for my first try using a new stamp). I actually feel in love with it immediately
upon seeing it in the new catalog. And
here it is:

Isn't this just the cutest baby shower card!! This uses the new single stamp, "Two by Two." I used Confetti White, Marina Mist, Soft Suede, and Watercolor Card Stock; Watercolor Crayons; and the new Fancy Fan and Delicate Designs Textured Impressions Embossing Folders. |
Before leaving, I want to show you what my dearest friend
sent to me (she always sends me the most beautiful and unusual gifts and this
was no exception – except it is also cute, cute, cute!!).

All of my kids thought this was so cute, but they thought it was just a couch! Nope, it is a tissue box cover; made out of Stampin' Up's retired Deck the Halls Fabric. And to answer your question: "No, I don't have a pattern -- darn!!" But I am for sure going to make one, as it looks pretty easy. I have to make a couple more with our current fabric!! |

I just had to show you one more picture -- it's just so cute!! |
Until next time,
Sandi

The "couch" is adorable! I love the Two by two stamp set too, and the scallop treatment is a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteOh my, Sandi, that couch tissue cover is too cute. Do share a pattern if you make one. Love your card, too, of course.
