Here are some pictures of Ashley leaving the restaurant and my three kids: Jordan, Ashley, and Jason (Ashley's Fiancee).
Outside of Buca's. Don't you just love that Ivy?
The Marquee of the theatre.
Well enough personal photos and now onto today's Featured Card!
To make my card, I colored the background and all the images with Copic Markers. The mermaid, seahorse, crab, fish, and starfish are all mounted up on dimensionals. Card stock colors are just white, black, and Cameo Coral.
Well, on another subject, the Stampin Up! retired stamp sets and accessories list is now available to view. I was happy to see that not too many of my favorite sets were retiring this year. I only ordered three sets 'Boatloads of Love', 'A little Birdie Told Me', and 'Morning Soft' because I always loved those sets and they've been on my wish list a long time. But, I was very unhappy to see the new sets available to Demonstrators to pre-order. There just was nothing I was interested in...so I didn't order any of those. On the other hand, I LOVE the new IN-COLORS! Oh, my gosh! If your not a demonstrator and you haven't seen them yet, you will die! They are gorgeous! I ordered the 'bundle pack' of those colors...all the card stock and ink pads. They are just so pretty and vibrant! Stampin Up! did retire a lot of gorgeous ribbons and embellishments, all at a discount too! So other than the 3 stamp sets I ordered, the majority of my order went for those items! I can't wait to see the new catalog! I'm so glad were going back to one catalog a year too!
I'm off today, so as soon as I'm done with my morning chores, I'll be outside in my garden. I'm still working on cutting down last year's growth. Just a little bit more to go! Wish me luck! Have a great day! Amy
It looks like you had a fun filled trip with your family Amy! The Phantom of the Opera has to be one my favorite musicals. It's so intense and riveting, not to mention the set design. Your little mermaid card is adorable! Thanks for the info about SU, I'm sure I'll be checking in with my SU demo now for sure. Happy gardening!
ReplyDeleteSO glad you had a wonderful day in the City. The Phantom is one of my FAVORITE plays & sound tracks!! LOVE Andrew Lloyd Webber!! Your "kids" are adorable looking!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your card creation! I haven't done this challenge for about a month or so now ... thanks for inspiring me to "get back to it".
I don't know how you keep up with all those lovely gardens! You ROCK!!
It sounds like you had so much fun!! I would have liked to go to that play. Thanks for sharing all the gorgeous pictures!! Your card for the FS challenge is gorgeous!! Love the ocean scene you created. Beautiful coloring!
ReplyDeleteHi Amy
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a fab time and lovely pics.
Gorgeous card to...love the Emma set. Hope the digi image links I gave you haven't meant you've been spending lots of money!! Lol

I think your card is adorable. I like it better than the inspiration piece because it has so much more to look at and more vibrant colors. I think it's great that you like the digi stamps and have been doing so much with them. I printed off a freebie from some site and wasn't impressed with it so I haven't purchased any.
ReplyDeleteYour trip sounds great. I have only been to one major play - "Miss Saigon" when we went to NYC about 12 years ago. I think we went to a matinee so we only saw understudies, but I wouldn't have known the difference anyway. It's was astounding. But so were the ticket prices at $75 each.
The only things I ordered off the retirement lists were more in-color cardstock in the kiwi, red and baja colors. There wasn't anything else, including any sets, that I was interested in.
