wishing you every happiness...

Can you believe that we are into August already?  Where did July go? As much as I would like to see Sept get here (we are taking a trip out to Maine) I still want to enjoy the summer. Weather hasn't been all that summerish if you kwim!  Lots of rainy days and cooler temps, now I don't want hot hot weather, but mid 70's, sunshine and a slight breeze- is that too much to ask?  Well that is the weather for this weekend- can't wait.

I have another card to share with you today.  I had  a request for a wedding shower - I never know what to do for those, anyway this is what I came up with. I really enjoy making a card that doesn't require colouring.  Mind you I love to use my pencils and copics, but this is a nice change from it.

This was pretty simple actually, paper, punches, pearls, flowers, ribbon and die cut!

I used an EK Success border punch as well as a Spellbinder
fancy tags three.  I think the paper is by Prima. I sponged some antique linen to give it a bit of vintage feel to the punched border as well as the tag tie.  Sentiment is from Verve - set is called Small Phrases - great set to have I have used this many times.

Finished off with some white ribbon, pearls, flower and leaves from Wild Orchid Crafts (UK - love this online store, if you need flowers this is the place to purchase them. Shipping is cheap and they ship fast.  I had my pkg in a week).   

Okay, off to start my day, need to get my potato salad made.  Mark and his girlfriend are coming home today, can't wait to see them, it's been a month.  Day shaping up great weather wise,  lots of birds in the backyard already - hummingbirds, cardinals, blue jays, sparrows, finches, we will have lots of laughs (as always), great food as well (bbq chicken, potato salad, corn on the cob, wine!) and just a lot of family loving!

Enjoy your weekend, it's a long one for us Canadian's, and I also took Tuesday off, so a 4 day weekend, love it!

Till next time,
Pauline
