Back to the office again today.  Worked in the office Monday through Thursday and worked from home on Friday.  Hoping for more working from home time.  I have such a hard time breathing with the face mask and we have to wear them all day - except when eating and drinking.  

Stay safe everyone!  Wear those masks when you can't social distance and stay healthy!

Thank you for looking in today - Happy Monday!

Summer Nights!

Thirty years ago (yesterday - July 26th) Phoenix, Arizona hit record temperatures of 122 degrees!  I sure hope we don't ever do that again, that was just way too hot!

Many Little Thanks

Are you ready for life to get back to normal?  Not the "new" normal... just our regular normal.  With so many people still working from home, it also means that shipping of our products take longer to arrive.  Finally received our workshop order from the June 6th party, so made thank you notes to go with the orders. 

I still love these little sunflowers.  So bright and cheery!


Recipe:
Crushed Curry - 3" x 6", scored and folded at 3"
Water Color Paper - 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"
Whisper White 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" (inside)

Stamps:  Celebrate Sunflowers and Itty Bitty Greetings
Ink:  Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Suede and Old Olive

I stamped the image with Crushed Curry and painted the insides with ink squeezed onto the inside of the ink pads with my Water Painter.


Thank you for looking in today!  It's Finally Friday!

Have a great weekend!

Blossoms in Bloom

Mango Melody and Poppy Parade - what a beautiful combination!  This stamp set is going to be so much fun to play with and experiment with other colors.  The large flowers on these cards are all part of one stamp and the little flowers I stamped individually.

Since it is such a large stamp, I decided to use my Stamparatus instead of a clear block.  I wanted to be sure to get a nice stamped image.  I inked the stamp first with Mango Melody and then using my daubers, I inked the inside edges of the petals with Poppy Parade.  The centers are also stamped with Poppy Parade as well.



Can you spot the differences in the two cards above?  Leave me a reply - I'd love to hear from you!



Recipe:
Mango Melody - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Poppy Parade - 4" x 5 1/4"
Whisper White - 3 3/4" x 5"
Whisper White - 4" x 5 1/4" - inside panel




Thank you for looking in today.  The weekend is almost here!

~ Donna



Remember - for the month of June - place a $50.00* online order using the hostess code below and I'll send you this beautiful Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon.  *before tax and shipping.

Jar of Flowers Brightens My Day

More Sunflowers!  They are such a happy and bright flower, how can you not love them?  Watch out for more, because they will be coming!


Recipe:
Bumblebee - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Just Jade - 4" x 5 1/4"
Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper - 3 3/4" x 5"
Whisper White - 2 1/2" x 5"
Just Jade - 2 3/4" x 5"
Whisper White - 4" x 5 1/4" (inside panel)

A little tip on cutting so you'll have enough paper to decorate your envelope, the front of the card and a little piece inside.  Begin by cutting at 3 3/4" x 6", then cut th 6" down to 5 1/4".  The large piece 2 1/4" x 6" will go on your envelope flap and the 3/4" x 3 3/4" little piece will go inside.  Every bit of the 6" x 6" is used (minus the bits you trim off the envelope flap).  I used the other side for the flap.


Stamps:  Jar of Flowers
Ink:  Memento Black, Old Olive (stems), Mint Macaron (stamped off once - "fluid" inside jar)
Stampin' Blends:  Old Olive, Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Soft Suede

Bling:  2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots

Here's the inside:


Thank you for looking in today!  Happy Hump Day!
