Today, I am entering the Freshly Made Sketch challenge #353 hosted by Jen Mitchell.

This was a nice and easy card to create. To start,  I embossed SU Whisper White cardstock using a no brand embossing folder 'Fireworks' which I highlighted with clear and gold Wink of Stella.

The balloon stamp is a really old one from Stampin Up. I stamped the balloons and the sentiment on Whisper White cardstock (before embossing), then using the SU Stitched Circle Label I die cut a circle out of part of the balloons. The circle was then was adhered with dimensionals to complete the balloons. This gives a dimension spotlight affect. The white cardstock is glued to a sky blue cards base. I am very pleased with the over all affect. I wish you can see the shimmer of the fireworks.

More of my watercolours

Today, there is a nip in the air and it is only the beginning of September! The leaves of the poplar trees around the lake are starting to turn colour and the nights are starting to get frosty. My husband  is happy as he gets  to play farmer and help our nephew with the harvest.

Today I want to share some of my paintings I did. Do tell me what you think by leaving a comment. I do appreciate receiving them. I now know where to look too! LOL

It has been awhile

Isn't amazing how quickly the hours, days, weeks, months go by. Life has been interesting and there have been some challenges. But overall, my family and I are blessed with good health and we still enjoy one another's company! LOL

I have been busy with volunteer work, painting (mostly water colours) and creating cards. I find that I enjoy sending or giving cards as a tangible way to keep in touch. And I am not afraid to say it - I still like sending and receiving snail mail. I found that our young grandchildren do too. Hopefully they'll still feel this way as teenagers. 😁
