I always want to play along with the sweet gals over at CR84FN but with my little whipper snappers the opportunity does not come often. When I saw the colors for this go around I had to figure out some "ME" time at my craft table and today opportunity knocked and I answered the door.
Here is inspiration photo over at CR84FN for this challenge and I have to say
I LOVE these colors together.
I made this card for my niece Stephanie,
she has just graduated from 8th grade and had a very successful year!!!
Way to go Steph~~
I used an impression plate from PTI to give them a bit of texture .......
I cannot remember the name of it but I am sure you all know :)
This is the sentiment that is inside the mini envelope.
I must say it was nice to create something today.
Women's World Cup is taking place in Germany right now and the Germans play again tomorrow. I am cheering for America and Germany and if they meet in the quarter finals, I will be hiding in my closet because I cannot watch games like that.
When Germany plays my nice Bavarian husband Curt likes
to have a nice Bavarian breakfast to put us in a festive mood .........
here is a photo of breakfast beverage to go along with the German cold cuts and butter bread.
