Saving for a Rainy Day .....


Hi! We've had picture postcard weather here in Miami - the kids and I have been in the pool now that the rain has slowed.  It's summer in Florida, and that means rain - lots of it, but we've had two beautiful days and lovin' every second of it! 

  
I saw this color combo challenge on SCS and just love it!  I love colors and using them in my card making -- the rich, vivid colors are so striking and had to play along.  Using Umbrella Riley, I paired this with some melon and orange papers from K and Co - paper piecing the umbrella to match.  I found this sketch in last year's TSG files and thought it would be a good time to give it a try {a year late!}

Inside View - Left blank for future notes!

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope the sun is out shining where you are, too :)

Big hugs,
Bigger Blessings!

  1. Oh Kelly, this is picture perfect! I love the fun and happy colors and Riley just makes every day brighter. Can you ask him to send some rain to us in Texas? We need it terribly! Big hugs to you! :)

  4. Kelly, I love the fact that you design the inside of your cards as beautifully as the outside. I often wait until I need the card to finish the inside and then I am rushed. I'm just loving the colors that you are creating with..so bright and vivid. Thanks for that most wonderful comment you left on the Cricut card I made yesterday. Totally lifted my spirits. Blessings.
