I received some wonderful news a few days ago from my youngest son Brett. He lives in San Francisco. He and Ghilly are expecting their first child in December.
I was so excited. It will be my 4th grandchild. I know for sure I will be making lots of trips out to California when the baby is born.
I love being involved in my grandkids lives and this baby will be no exception.
God is good!!
My card for today covers 2 challenges:
1. The 2nd "speedy the cat's friends" challenge" on Marks Finest Papers blog wanted us to use our corner punches. My paper doll friend Cathleen Torino was the hostess so I wanted to take part in this one for sure. I used my corner rounder on my white block panels.
2. The colors for this card were part of the curtain call color challenge act 29. We were to use whisper white, summer sun, tangerine tango and bordering blue. I thought this was a difficult combo because I had trouble trying to fit it the blue. But, I managed to finish my card with all the required colors.
I used some Stampin-Up bright delight rub-ons for my images and sentiment. That covered the tangerine tango. I layered them on a bordering blue panel which was cut with a Martha Stewart lattice border punch. The summer sun is on top of that panel.
I added 3 tangerine tango ribbon tabs and that finished my card.
It's time to put the wraps to this post but I wanted to leave you with the inspirational words of
Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart
card recipe:
paper: ww, summer sun, bordering blue
accessories: bright delight rub-ons, tangerine tango ribbon, ms border punch
