3M: Friends are our Umbrellas!

 Hi friends!

Summer is under full swing here and it's hot, hot, HOT!

Like most of the country, it's sweltering here in Miami.

We're so blessed that they haven't closed any of Miami's Beaches

like they have further north with that heartbreaking algae :(

We're doing our best to keep cool outdoors 

while enjoying the lazy days of summer ♥ 

So far, today's card is the only rain I've seen in weeks! 

 Woohoo!     

Today's card is also our famous 3 Musketeers post ~

Barb, Jeanette and I!

(although someone extra snuck in under the umbrella it seems!)

Barb was our hostess this month with these fun umbrella gals ~

I actually own this Art Impressions stamp set 

and I also rec'd/and created with it in a card kit from Terry L,

so it's been pretty popular :)

 True to form, I picked out my designer papers first,

and then colored the image to match.

I had that red circular die cut left on my desk as an extra from this card

so it became a backdrop to the raindrop papers. 

This was the first time I've tried fussy cutting the ladies from this set 

and wow, takes some patience and steady hands - LOL! 

 

I also finished the inside of the card with a matching sentiment ~

and such truer words couldn't be found.

True friends are one of life's greatest treasures!

   

 

Be sure to hop on over and see what Barb and Jeanette have made as well!

As you can see from our fabulous meme,

we are not only talented but cute!  LOL! :)

Be safe out there - stay hydrated and please

 keep an eye on outdoor pets in your area!

Big hugs, bigger blessings! ♥
