Hi Everyone. Happy Friday. I hope you all had a great week!
I have a quick card for you tonight, using two of my favorite all time colors. Summer Starfruit and Midnight Muse. I really do LOVE these colors. I saw this great layout across and cleanandsimple stamping and couldn't wait to use it.
I needed a birthday card for a colleague who is an awesome baker! For her birthday I bought herthe "Sweet Holidays" Pressed Cookie Stamps and the Season of Sweets Designer Kit. I thought those, along with this birthday card, would be just the ticket. I didn't have the right sentiment – so off to MDS again…. Ann R.….. MDS is My Digital Studio! :-) I love MDS and am thrilled that the new version is coming out VERY soon. I will certainly be getting an upgrade.
Here's my card
I just love SU's new butterfly punch. It is such a pretty shape. I thought that I would create the butterfly from the butterfly DSP in Patio Party. It really is such a pretty DSP pack. All that was needed to added a little bling was some non-SU glass pearls. I hope she likes her present!
On a personal note:
Oh… more furniture arrived today! Yes… two chairs for the great room arrived and we LOVE them. Yes, LOVE them. They might be the only thing we have in the great room… but it is better than two camping chairs! Tonight we get to move around the furniture that arrived for the basement. I wasn't able to move it around when it – finally – arrived on Thursday, as Lou was out of town (again!) and it was much too heavy for me to move alone. We don't actually have a single room that is complete. I mean, it's pretty hard to hang paintings and decorative pieces, when you actually don't have furniture. :-) But, it is getting there! We now have a full bedroom suite – yes, the bed finally arrived. However, we don't have a mattress for the new bed, so have to go organize that tomorrow!
The weather finally broke… but only for a short time. It was wonderful whilst it lasted though! This heatwave is really exhausting and I find myself yearning for the cooler weather of fall.
I can't close my blog tonight without talking about that wretched shooting in Colorado. Kids. How can you deliberately shoot young kids? I just DONT GET IT!!!! I just don't know how to verbalize my feelings. It makes me angry. It makes me sad. It makes me….well… I just can't say. All I can say is that my heart, and my prayers, go out to the victims and families of all of those affected by this heinous act.
Warm hugs and prayers for all of you who need a little lift tonight. I hope your Saturday is filled with the sound of laughter and the feel of a warm hug.

I love this colorful card. I am sure she will like it.
On another note, until they stop making these violent movies and games, this will happen again. Just saying. My thoughts and prayers to the folks in Colorado.
I love your card, Jaydee. Nice and simple. Perfect for a workshop. Nice to hear your house project is coming along.
I have to say, Summer Starfruit has done nothing for me up to this point. However, after seeing your delightful card here, I have to say it’s growing on me. :o) I love the simplicity with that pop of a butterfly. :o)
Furniture is too exciting! Lou, I’m glad you’re home to help get it in place. :o)
I think I may have to take that George Clooney (mmm, George…mmm) story and run with it. Thanks! :oD
The violence on Friday sickened me so much. IMHO, something must be done about our gun culture in the US. I can really get going on a soapbox here (oh the things I witnessed and dealt with when I taught in the inner city–I saw a former student on the news the other day, arrested for murder. :sigh:) so I’m going to just say, something MUST change.
Hugs!
