Too Hot to be Crafty ... NO Way

This is a photo taken in our car at 4:34 pm on Saturday.   When we first got in, it said 114 degrees.   Shows how hot the inside of a car/garage can really be.   Thank goodness for A/C which allowed the temperature to drop quickly.   The high was 100 degrees for us yesterday.

No projects to post today, I'm taking a break and spending the day with my wonderful husband.   But I wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day.   May it be a day filled with joy and wonderful memories. 

I'll be back on Monday with more new projects for you.

Apple Blossoms, Triple Layer Punch and Taffeta Ribbon Weave

I love this gate fold card which could be used for many occasions.   Look closely at the flowers on this card -- they were made using the Doily Triple Layer Paper Punch - Layer 3.  I wove ribbon thru some of the openings and love the affect it gives.   Took about 8" of ribbon.  Then I put a solid Old Olive Doily (layer 1) behind to accent the flowers.

Sunny Fun Stamp Set Card Sample

Sunny Fun Stamp Set, item #123040 - Wood OR item #123042 - Clear Mount

This set has 5 stamp in it, the flip flops, ice creams, children in inner tubes, and "that was so cool of you...thanks!" and "fun in the sun!"   This is one of my favorites from the Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog.  Perfect too for summer scrapbooking pages or those about vacations to Hawaii.

I used Stampin' Up!'s Watercolor Pencils to color in the flip flops.  Item #101879 - there are 24 pencils in the set.
