Just My Type & Teaser

Happy Saturday!  Today is my gram's birthday.  I figure I can mention that her gift came from when DH and I went to the Stonewall Kitchen flagship store in Maine last weekend.  We had fun putting a goodie bag together for her. :)  When I mentioned to the cashier that it was all for my gram's birthday she said "Oh, Do you have 10 minutes?  Wait here and I'll make it all pretty for you!"  My goodness!  I wish I had taken a picture before I mailed it.  She bagged it all up and had ribbons 'n pretty stuffing.  It really was so wonderful of her!

School has started and I keep telling myself I should be creating fall-ish cards, but I've a total mess goodies in parts in my workspace begging to be finished!

 

This was one of those begging for a finish. :)  One down and a bazillion to go! LOL!

Now, here's the teaser.  Over at The Hen's Den we're having a sketch off today.  You have to guess who made which project based on the sketch.  One is mine and hopefully the peek above will help you to decide...

Good Luck!

 

Sunshine Hydrangea

This is a set I made on my ruffles kick last week.  I meant for this post to go up last Sunday- eek!  Not sure where the time went!  Thanks to all of you for your well wishes to Cad. :)  Don't forget to enter Cad's CANDY GIVEAWAY.  He's taking entries until Thursday the 26th.

Honestly this is the last hydrangea for a little while, but it is just SO HAPPY.  Every time I clean it and put it away I have another idea and have to drag it out all over again. :)

No nekkid envies here. :)  The vine might not be in the hydrangea vein, but again so stinkin' happy!  I'm hosting some family in a few minutes, but I will update this post later with the inks, papers, 'n such.  I pinky-swear!!

In the meantime, does anyone know what these are?  Good bugs or bad bugs?  They are eating a plant, so I might say bad, but then again caterpillars turn into butterflies so...

Make sure you make something fun today, do something fun today, or take a funny picture at least!!!

My bug-less bouquet is on tables here:

Two more for the 4th!

 I'm taking a little break from my If you give a girl a lighthouse series. Have no fear! There are at least 2 more offerings coming next week. :) In the meantime, I have a couple more July 4th concoctions...

After finishing this duo, I had one more Liberty Girl was sitting on my table begging for a card of her own!  I used the Sweet Sunday Sketch from Karen Giron.  She's got a DT Call running using this sketch.  Time is almost up so you should head over and join in the fun!  I tweaked my take on the embellies by making the "flower" part my ruffled ribbon and the "banner" part the embellies.  The papers are Pink Paislee-Declaration & Authentique-Glory.  The Copics used are Y15, YR07, R29, BG10, B99, E17, E18, E19, E00, E000, E000, R20, and T1.

I was trying to clean up some of the July 4th inspired scraps and this card came together!  Love when papers put themselves together for you. :)  Once I saw the papers I immediately thought of using this wicked old SU hydrangea that I got as a hand-me-down recently.  It had never been inked!!!!  I used Tim Holtz peeled paint, worn lipstick, and fired brick.  The sentiment is from PTI summer jar fillers and is die cut with a Spellbinders die that I also used on the whole If you give a girl a lighthouse series this week. ;)

Well, I guess I'll actually be sending out July 4th cards this year!  Are you going to be stateside this July?  What are y'all doing this for the 4th?

The torch is lit and the hydrangeas are blooming as I head here:
