FMS 46

Good morning, Friends! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend and are ready for another week! We had a super weekend! We left on Thursday for Park City, UT. Nick had a soccer tournament up there that started on Friday. We had never been up there before so it was a great experience and beautiful scenery! The boys played excellent but the outcome was not what we wanted. They tied all of their games! The final game went into over time and then finally was decided in penalty kicks. Guess we need to work on those - lol! Sounds like we will be doing this tournament again next year. Yea!! I had every intention of posting while I was gone but we didn't know the password for the wifi so I just used by phone to check e-mails and didn't worry about the blog. But here I am now!


Today's card was inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made. I haven't used the Top Note die in a while. I took a strip of the First Edition designer paper and adhered it to a strip of Basic Black that has the edge punched with the scallop edge border punch. This is adhered to a card of Very Vanilla. Then I took a piece of Very Vanilla and a piece of Basic Black and cut them with the Top Note die using the Big Shot. The Basic Black piece was cut down so that only the very bottom is used for the card. I stamped the image and sentiment from Thoughts & Prayers in Basic Black, adhered the Basic Black piece and then tied a piece of Basic Black taffeta ribbon around this. I popped this panel up onto the card base. Then I used the itty bitty punch pack to punch a flower from Daffodil Delight and added a pearl. Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
