Sitting here on Sunday night - hardly believing the weekend is gone again. Are weekends in another time/space continuum? Cuz, to me, the time goes by much faster than during the week. I kind of have the Sunday night blues...you know what I'm talking about, right? Trying to cram in some more fun before going back to work. Dreading waking up early. I got some stamping time in this afternoon and so I have some things to share.
The Tuesday Trigger over at Moxie Fab World was a funky one this week. The image is a bright handbag in greens and pinks...as you know, one of my favorite color combos. I got an idea instantly! Here is the trigger photo:
Here is my card! I punched out all the flowers from three shades of pink bazzill paper. I put flower brads in the center of some of the flowers. I cut a curve in the bottom of the card to show the dark green underneath. Some of the flowers are attached with foam tape, and others are flat - just to give some depth.
Here is the inside of the card:
What a mess!
Last night the DH and I went out for a little early dinner and then for a long drive afterwards. It really has been gorgeous weather and we decided to take advantage of the longer days. After our drive we went over to the bookstore and read and heard some local singers - a very nice evening indeed. The sky completely washed out of this picture, but I wanted to include it anyway because the river is so pretty.
Foresthill Bridge - the tallest in California!
A pretty waterfall we saw by the side of the road.
I love the contrast of the soft bright yellow flowers against the hard rock.
Rock n Roll Girlfriend... your card is fab (and I WANT that purse)... your photos are amazing.... Love it all !!
