I'm happy to report that summer has
officially started here in the Clark household! We finished our
standardized testing and I successfully homeschooled my 3rd
and 6th graders into smart little graduates of Clarks Academy :) Now we get to spend the summer pursuing our interests.
One will learn guitar and Java script, the other will be learning
small engine repair (my 9 year old!), and I will be hopefully
catching up on scrapbooking and revving up my crafty mojo with some
new SU goodies. Soon! Oh, and gardening.
What's a sunny May day without a look
ahead to Christmas? I used the Merry Monday sketch to create this
clean and simple card.
I decided to go with only red, white
and black. Simply using clean lines and dimensionals, I stamped one
tree from Lovely As A Tree on one side of the rectangle, and hand cut
a tiny cardinal and placed it on a branch. I used the snowy panel to
stamp my sentiment, and mounted them on Real Red glimmer paper.
Finally, I added (sparingly) Dazzling Diamonds glitter with Tombo
multi glue and a fine paintbrush.
You should give the sketch a try!
There's some great inspiration over at Lesley's blog.
Have a blessed and creative day! ~
