Hey Ya's! Hope you are all having a beautiful weekend and a great summer so far!
We've been keeping quite busy here. :) Bodhi has started his Karate lessons .. and he LOVES it! Yayyyy! lol! Then we bought a yearly membership for the Children's Discovery Museum here in town .. it's packed with so many amazing things for the kids to play and learn.
Now let me tell you .. I am SO afraid of heights .. so very VERY afraid. LOL! And there's a section of the museum where you have to walk up 3 stories .. and you see through everything. It's a fenced cage (yea, cause we're all animals right?! LOL!), and each level there are things for the kids to stop and explore and learn. There's even planes and tunnels hanging off the side in mid-air where the kids can actually go in and climb up and down .. OMGosh .. CRAZY! But I did the climb! I did it! Knees were about to buckle and I could feel a little trickle of sweat on my face .. lol .. but gotta put on a brave face and do it for my Bodhi right?! ;)
I swear my hands were reaching out ready to catch any of the kids that were jumping around and hopping around up there. LOL! You know how it is .. when you're young .. you have NO FEARS! NONE, NADA, KAPUT! hehe!
Annnyways, I've been so honoured to be a Lili of the Valley Guest at Sketch Saturday! This week is a free sketch week .. and I chose to work with a beautiful sketch #253. Thank you Sketch Saturday for having me guest with you wonderful ladies!
For my card, I've used a couple of the newest images from LOTV. First I stamped "Set 62 - Quotables Friendship". Then I masked the rose piece of "Set 53 Vintage Backs - Flora and Fauna" over it. As you can see, I've not used the entire image of the Vintage Back stamp .. I love that you can use the portions of these new images as well! :)
Also, I am using a beautiful Noor! Design circular die 6003/1003 for my Guest Spot over at Noor! I thought, "Why not slip my image between and into the little slits?" .. and it worked like a charm! Try it! :)
Well thank you so much for staying with me on my long post. ;) I hope you all got your orders in on the latest AMAZING Lili of the Valley Release! And if it's out of stock at the moment .. no worries .. LOTV is awesome and will replace it pronto! :)
Thank you so much for visiting me .. I truly love it when you do! I'll see ya again soon!
Big Hugs,
Elise
