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!)
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!
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! ♥

We've just had two days of rain after our return from our European travels! Quite a welcomed rain - as we were mulching when it started, so we kept going as it felt better with the cooler rain falling on us. I heard that you guys are having it very warm down there - Rome was warm enough for us!! It's the humidity that is the problem. Anyway, this rainy day card is so sweet, with those four ladies under the one umbrella. You have of course aced it with picking out those background papers first and working with them! Brilliant card!
ReplyDeleteKelly--this card is so cute. I love the papers that you picked and the red circle is way cool. Great coloring on the image too and I am so glad you are a Three Musketeer too!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, I wasn't sure how else to contact you in response to your comment on my blog. The My Creative Bible comes with all of the verses and illustrations pre-printed in it and ready to color in. I hope this helps you.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
