Hello there, Peeps, and a very happy Saturday to you! We've been enjoying a low-key Saturday together here at the McVey ranch....so good to be home with my 'boys'. Riley's been very lovey-dovey since I got home (sweet doggie boy) and I'm loving spending time with Bartley. We went to a favorite local hang-out for dinner last night as well as our fave gelato shop, followed by a little shopping for a new iPhone cover -- I'm on the hunt for a fun new one. Do you have a favorite iPhone cover? Leave me a link in the comments section, if you do! I'm thinking I'd prefer a hard case....no silicone.....and a bright cheery color. *wink* Would love your suggestions, if you've got a cool cover you love.
Have you seen this issue of Card Creations Vol. 8 yet? WOW! This one is loaded with inspiration!! My copy came while I was out of town and I've given it a good once-over and I can't wait to peruse it again and again. I've got several cards published in this issue, and now that it's for sale on news stands, I can share one of those cards with you.
This card includes several things that I absolutely love. I stamped the teapot from Tea For Two with berry sorbet ink and after I cut it out with paper snips, I used vintage touch tea dye ink on the edges. The super cute library card is a freebie download that Heather Nichols offered on her blog awhile back. So sweet of her -- I just love it! I printed it out on vintage cream card stock, cut it out and used it on my card. So easy! I stamped sentiments from Say It With Style on the library card in berry sorbet and dark chocolate ink and then adhered the teapot to the library card with foam adhesive, before adding a few rhinestones to finish it off.
The polka dots are from Polka Dot Basics II, stamped on Stampin' Up!'s going gray card stock with Papertrey's vintage cream ink. I used Fiskars apron lace punch to create the scalloped border across the top of the card.
I hope you're enjoying your weekend. We're off to our friends' house in a bit, to enjoy dinner with them, out on their patio. Should be fun.....it's soooo warm and sunny today!
Take care, Dearies!!
