Summer Out of the Box Card

Well hello ladies!

Hope you all had a good day today. It was such a beautiful day out there today, not too hot, just right. Don't you just luv those type of days? Dawn's hubby came home today from Iraq & I'm sure she & her daughter can't believe the day is finally here...hope you both have a great time with him while he's home. I'm so happy for them!


Here's the summer card that I made while I was upstairs today. I love the way this card came out. I saw this on someones blog (don't remember who, sorry) & decided to give it a try today. I cut away some of the stamped image of the chair & beach umbrella & the WW cs is set on dimensionals. What do you think?

CS: SU Groovy guava, WW, & turquoise (unknown)
Stamps & sentiments: Joann's summer stamps

My daughter came over today to do laundry & as usual, she takes over my computer, so I went upstairs to my craft room to make some cards. She is very organized (takes after her mom, hehe!!!) & wanted to make some flyer's for her maid of honor, bridesmaids & me, so we could have each others phone numbers & email addresses so we could keep in touch with all the plans for bridal shower etc that we need to make. That's my girl!!! She used pink (but of course, what else would she use)paper, worked everything out on the computer & printed up the flyer's for us. She wanted to make it pretty (that's my Jess, a girly girl)...so she asked me if I could put some stamps & stickers on them (ohhhh shoot! I forgot to take picture of folded flyer's with flower stickers & girlfriends sentiments on it, oh well!!) Their gone now, too late. So here are some pics of what we did. What do you think? Looks good, huh!


She loves shoes ( what woman doesn't, we can never have enough!) hence the shoe stamp. She takes after me there too...luv shoes!!! Before I left work, that whole year before, I stocked up on summer shoes & winter heel boots, I didn't realize how many I bought til one day when Jess was over & needed to wear a pair of my boots so she could go out to eat with us after she finished washing clothes. Hey mom, you went crazy didn't you??? Hey, I knew once I left work I wouldn't have the money to buy them later...so yes I went wild, what can I say?

Well have a great evening, & thanks for stopping by. Take care!

Hugs...Rita
