This was my first attempt at making a clear card. Tracy liked it a lot, but it’s not an easy card to photograph.
It’s been quite a lovely day. Tracy and I started the day at the Brighton Farmer’s Market. It’s becoming a weekly habit, and we bring home the nicest organic fruits and vegetables. Today I bought a beautiful bouquet as well. We then picked up a student from the school where Tracy worked for 25+ years, her sister and mother and brought them to church. Our church hosts a tutoring program at the school and a group of sixth graders read a poem and talked about their plans for the future this morning during our Focus on Mission. Church was followed by an ice cream social which marks the end of our regular schedule for the year. During the summer we operate on a different time frame and without the weekly presence of our fabulous chancel choir.
Tracy spent the afternoon working on the boat and practicing some golf shots while I got in some crafting time. This evening Matt joined us and we drove to Canandaigua Lake for dinner at Steamboat Landing. We had reserved a table outside overlooking the lake. It was warm, breezy, and just right for a lakeside dinner. The food and service were excellent, and we had a great time.

The guys. Prime rib for Tracy and chicken wings for Matt. I had a wonderful seafood combination of crab cake, grilled scallops, and shrimp. I was surprised to see the sun flare when I uploaded the photo, but I kind of like it.

I hope your day was equally pleasant!
Love your clear card! I’ve been meaning to try one for some time now. Also looks like you had a gorgeous weather day!
First of all I am glad to see Tracy wearing his hat – always pays to be sun smart and it is a constant focus here! The sun flare shot at dinner is fabulous – I’m always partial to a sun flare shot, it sounds like a great day was had by all … the card turned out very well – no wonder he liked it!
Love the way the sun flred in the shot….and sounds like you both a lovely day.
It sounds like a pretty perfect Fathers Day. I’m glad you had a good one 🙂
Karen – the way you captured the sun flare in that photo is absolutely stunning! (Even if it wasn’t intentional). Sounds like you had a great day!
Love the sun flare! And the clear card is cool, too. I wonder how a transparency card would work.

Love your Father’s Day card, Karen! And the lovely pictures. Beautiful area you live in!
I love the card, Karen. acetate cards really are hard to photograph.
It looks like you live in a beautiful area. The photos are great. Love the sun flare.
The card is lovely and I love the sun flare in the photo too. Glad you had a nice day 🙂
Great acetate card – it looks lovely, and you did a good job of photographing it! I’m glad you had a good day together 🙂 We did too (a few details will appear on my blog in due course). I love the sun flare in your penultimate photo xx
Great card, Karen! I love making clear cards but I don’t do it too often. Sounds like you had a wonderful day! Awesome pics and I kinda like the sun glare too! mmmm, seafood is one of my favs!
