The very first thing I did to make this card was to run the So Saffron Card Stock through the Big Shot with the plate that looks like bamboo in the texturz plate set number 4. I lightly spritzed the card stock with rubbing alcohol on both sides of the card stock. This softens the fibers of the card stock some and gives you a much deeper impression from the plate. Then I attached the designer paper from Tall Tales on the bottom, and a tiny strip of Old Olive card stock that I snagged out of my scrap bin. I took the Inspired by nature stamp set and stamped some grass with Old Olive ink, and then stamped 2 elephants with Soft Suede ink on another piece of card stock. I cut them both out and mounted the one on the right on some dimensionals to give the card a 3 D look.
Hello! What beautiful weather we are having. It was a picture perfect day here and I enjoyed it very much while I was out running my errands this afternoon. I decided to move my tomato plant back up on the deck in the full sun now that it is cooler. It is full of green tomato's. You should see it....as Sarah says...it looks like a jungle. I sure have been enjoying having the little roma tomato's on my sandwiches. Susie stopped in for a visit this afternoon and I have been stamping verses in cards since she left and packaging them up. I got a Pat Greene CD from the library today and am listening to the song Let Me Be. The girls both really like this song and Zach looked up this song on Itunes to see who sang it for me as I really like it too. It finally came in, this was month's ago when we did that and later I ordered it. It is funny how we all love the same song. That would happen when the girls were home but I think it is a little uncanny now that we all have separate homes and it happens. Sarah went to Brook's and Dunn's concert at Camp Mc Coy last Friday night. What a lucky girl! She said they were fantastic. They are suppose to be splitting up at the end of the tour which is sad as they are so good together and have so many hits. But I wouldn't want to be touring so can easily understand that. They will be missed.
Good evening! We had a fabulous time at Sandy Wellumson's stamping party last night. The room was full of laughter and chatter. We did some cute projects that I will be posting on another day. I haven't taken pictures of them yet. I have been busy baking for Sarah and Zach's wedding picnic this weekend. I made 2 loaves of pumpkin bread on Friday, an apple cake on Sunday night, and a pan of peanut butter chocolate chip brownies today. Sarah put me in charge of baking. I am glad that I have air conditioning or I would have one hot house this week! I finished 6 cards today, put in the stamping order, cleaned the cat box, got the laundry all done, stripped the bed, washed the sheets, remade it and who knows what else...lol I guess you will have to ask the cats. If they could talk, they would tell you as they were following me around. And Miss Molly kept planting herself on top of my card stock when I was making cards, or would sit on the computer table and she would pet me with her paw until I would pet her back. She is such a smart little thing although her timing is not always the best. But when the cat's want attention, they want it right now. And of course my cat's are not spoiled or anything. I also got some resting in several times today as my body is flaring and I am trying to stop it, if I can.
