Snippets of time

That's all the time I have for the rest of this week and much of the next. Just a few snippets. Things to do, people to see, places to go. The usual summer (well...almost summer....) craziness. Good craziness though. And I needed to get a card made for our daughter. You'd love Jeanne. She's sweet and smart and rather nice. Much like her dad, she' also a bit of a workaholic. But in the way that makes her a valuable and loyal employee, and somehow, she finds time for the most important things in her life--family, friends, and yes, fun!

The Paper Smooches Sparks Trend Watch this week is "Gold". Stumped me for a bit, but the slow pings banged, gave me a migraine, banged some more, and finally dropped an idea on my desk. I knew I had saved some bits of one of my favorite blue dps, and I also knew that I was saving it for Jeanne's card. And after a bit more futzing, it came together.

This is what I made for Jeanne's birthday.

It's an overcast day here, and in spite of my best efforts, the almost yellow beige looks way too yellow here. I did my best to cool it down, but then the blues get funky. Achhhh.... So I have no clue as to who made the papers...every single piece is a scrap. The gold ink is from Stampabilities. there's a few bits of gold thread wrapped around the card too. The flower is random, but I love these and knew that they'd match my card. All stamps are from Paper Smooches -- Word Salad and Hot Concoctions. And that's about it. I wish I could find more of this paper...Happy dances all.
