Springtime in the summertime

It’s been a strange summer here in Southern California.  We’ve gone through really warm days where you can fry an egg on the driveway to thunderstorms/lightening/rain all in the blink of an eye.  Yesterday was no different, but I enjoyed what God gave us…springtime weather!  The day made me want to make a spring card and McMahon Five Design’s Springtime Friends digital stamp was just the perfect image:

Be sure to swing by M5D to view the newest items and this month’s specials!

It was so nice to be able to give my air conditioning system a nice break (and our wallet, too!).  From what I hear, there will be another change in the weather this weekend with possible rain.  Like I said…strange SoCal summer.

Loving the FTTC76 color inspiration!

I haven’t played along with the challenges over at Flourishes in a long while and so when I stopped by to find out what their current challenge was…well, I fell in love with the colors from the FTTC76!  The colors were so cooling and inviting and clean:

I buy the large Zva Creative pearly swirls (you know, the ones that are big enough for 12x12 scrapbook pages) and cut them up to fit my 6” square cards.  I get a lot more bang for my buck that way!  I just recently reorganized my designer papers, cardstocks and embellishments.  While doing that I discovered something…I am a HOARDER!  LOL!  Well, deep inside I always knew, but was in denial.  I had so much of everything and so I decided to start using a lot of my stash.  Please be patient with my creations when you start to see many flowers, pearls and buttons on my cards – I need to clear out my supply to make room for MORE!  Shhhh…don’t tell the hubby!

I hope you’ll stop by tomorrow for a little ODBD August Sneak Peek from me and my fellow Breadsticks!!

Happy Friday and thank you for stopping by!

Give us this Day…

New August ODBD sets will be coming your way soon which means SNEAK PEEKS are just around the corner! Make sure to visit some of the Bread Basket’s blogs to check out some teasers!

In the mean time, I got to play with my Our Daily Bread set and followed this week’s MOJO148:

(NOTE: This post was scheduled ahead of time with a photo of my card, but had to be replaced due to a future publication.)

I’ve been having fun lately playing with brownish/cocoa tones and I love how the Stampin’ Up! Sage Shadow color popped from it. I think it really draws the eyes to the center and to the wonderful Matthew 6:11 scripture.

I hope you’ll stop by this Saturday for my ODBD August Sneak Peek!
