Hi everyone! Happy Memorial Day weekend! Summer is here, and I'm declaring it the 'Summer of Shabby Chic!' Or, should I say, Modern Shabby Chic? Are you out having a grand old time this weekend? BBQ? Swimming? Graduation parties? I hope you are outside and having fun! The hubs and I are on a romantic getaway to the ocean right now to celebrate 20 years together. I am proud of us. It's a big milestone and I'm so happy to share my life with a great man. I'll fill you in more when we get home (and I'm sure I'll have some photos to share too!)
I sat down last weekend to make cards and every single card ended up having yellow or orange, or both. I must be in that Summer sunshine frame of mind. Today's card is one of the ones I made with this bold and happy color combo.
All of these products are from the Prima collection called Lady Bird! OMG OMG OMG. Seriously!! And, I bought everything at Scrapbook Territory! This actually has a fun story attached….. At CHA in January I was standing in the Prima booth with my mouth wide open staring at this gorgeous collection, and up walks Diane from Scrapbook Territory! I think she had something else going on, so she was like – 'order whatever you want!' Um, yeah, so I did! Didn't have to tell me twice! I love every single piece in this collection – from the pearls to the flowers to the cool paper pads.
I distressed all the paper layers in this card and really just had fun putting all this color together. I added the glitter to the flowers with some Stickles after I had the whole card together… Oh, and I had to add a butterfly too!
Here's a look at my paper layers….
And a close up of the pretty flowers….
THANK YOU for coming by to see what I'm up to. It means the world to me. Happy Weekend everyone! Happy Memorial Day to you also! If you have loved ones who serve or who have served – thank you to them from our house to yours. XOXO
