Happy Tuesday, blog friends! How are you doing so far this week? We've had a good couple of days! On Sunday we smoked a turkey, and had our neighbors over for dinner & drinks. Once it got dark out we lit a fire in their little fire pit & had smores...it was fun! Yesterday we went for a run, and then had some other friends from church over for burgers. Lots of yummy cooking over the weekend on the Traeger...best purchase EVER. At least recently. Lol!
Today I have a a sassy & fun set of cards using both The Story I Heard Kit & Add-on from Scraptastic Kit Club this month.
These kits made me think of gossiping with my girlfriends (not mean
gossiping...just the fun banter that only women understand) and just
being silly together. I've moved away from all of my best girlfriends,
and these cards make me miss them so much!! I am so looking forward to
our visit home this summer when we can stay up late & chat to our
hearts content!!
These cards were inspired by those moments when you just HAVE to talk to one of your girlfriend's about something that seems pretty major (if only for a moment) or during those times when you are bummed out & just need someone to validate you. Check them out!
One of the things I love most about working with kits is having a true
focus on certain products. I love to take everything out of its
packaging, and lay it out so it is easy to grab from. And that is how
both of these cards came together. After cutting & planning out the
paper blocks...I did what I call "grab & go". Don't think to hard
about it....grab for items and start placing them here & there
around your card. You will put things back that don't work out and move
things around a bit...but in the end you have a really fun card that is
full of things you might not have thought to put on it at first
glance!!
I also was inspired by these challenges:
-Viva la Verve May 2014 - week 3 & week 4 sketches
-The Pink Elephant #252 - anything goes
That is everything I have to share with you today!! I hope that you have an awesome Tuesday!
Until later,
~L.
