Retro 7

Good morning everyone! I hope your weekend is off to a great start! We will be starting our Saturday off with a soccer game (on our home turf) then immediately following that, we all get in our cars and drive to Denver to watch the Colorado Rapids play a game and then we spend the night there and play a game in Denver on Sunday before driving home. It will be another late night on Sunday. But it will be another fun weekend, too. Here's hoping that the boys play as well as they did last weekend!! I promised you the tutorial for the little fabric organizer that I made for the Control Freaks blog tour and I still need to find where I got it. I am looking but my internet doesn't want to help me out right now. Please be patient. Thanks!!


Today's card was inspired by the sketch at Retro Sketches. I am late in getting it into the challenge but it was still fun to play along! Last week when I was making up cards for the week, I had a fun time playing with the new Summer Smooches line! So you will be seeing a lot of cards with these products! My card base is Whisper White with two panels of Island Indigo card stock adhered to it. Then I took another piece of Whisper White and used the scallop punch to punch the bottom and adhered this to the card. I took another piece of Whisper White and ran it through the Big Shot with the Designer Frames embossing folder. I cut this out and stamped the vase from Bright Blossoms in Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade and Daffodil Delight. I popped this up onto the card. I stamped the flower onto a scrap of Whisper White in Tangerine Tango, cut it out and popped it up onto the card. Then I stamped the greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Island Indigo onto a strip of Whisper White and flagged one end. I attached this to a strip of Island Indigo that was punched with the dotted ribbon scallop punch and then adhered it to the card. Then I took a button from the brights collections and added a silver brad to the middle and adhered that to the card. Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
