We were supposed to be on the road this morning to the Adirondacks for the annual backpacking/girls weekend. The guys were planning on hiking a trail-less peak(s), but the forecast was for steady rain all weekend. They finally decided last night to forego it, and we’ve got a couple fun outings planned for the rainy weekend here to compensate.
It seems like a good time to share a couple cards I made for friends last month with the Simon Says August Card Kit: “Summer Sunshine.” Both cards were based on one designed by Lucy Abrams for the kit. We would have loved some more summer sunshine this weekend. Sadly, we had it yesterday and it’s forecast again for Tuesday-Friday, but not for the weekend.
Aside from the strip of paper on the second card, and some Papertrey Ink dies, all the supplies came from the August kit.
The sunshine die was cut from shimmer paper, and I loved Lucy’s idea to color in the “HELLO” stamp with the Gelly Roll glitter pen.
It seems like a good day to switch out our summer decorating for a bit of fall, which inspires me to clean and purge a huge cupboard in our basement. Later this afternoon, we’re planning to go to a movie and out to dinner, but a rainy day is a great day to spend in the basement!
There’s lots of sunshine here, but honestly we need some rain after this very dry summer! Hope y’all are having a relaxing weekend – bummer about not getting to go hiking.
These are super – I love the bright feel and that winking sun :). Shame it’s not doing more shining where you are, but you sound well on top of things with treats to boot!
A bit of sunshine here today, but it’s beginning to feel quite autumnal.
Love the card.
A rainy day here has me wanting to curl up indoors and make things too. Your cards are the perfect splash of sunshine.
And have I just spotted a lovely new profile picture?
Sorry your trip was cancelled; sounded like fun. But, you seem to have recovered quite nicely and had great plans to still enjoy the weekend…and we got the chance to enjoy more of your great cards!
Cheers~
