it was a beautiful, busy, lazy, wonderful weekend.
We had lots of family here to spend time with---it was perfect.
I hope you all enjoyed your weekend as well.
Unfortunately I have piles of muddy laundry waiting for me this morning---so before I get lost in it all, I wanted to post my card for the CPS blog this week. I LOVE this sketch---and our theme was SUMMER---so much fun.
I used heaps of Melissa Frances on this---paper, chipboard (the little swimsuit), trim, and the cardtsock sticker. Also used on this is a bit of Martha Stewart ribbon, Making Memories buttons and blossoms, Darice string, and Ranger ink.
I hope you'll try this sketch---it challenged me---but I enjoyed the process.
Hmmmmfff...gotta go be responsible---have a wonderful Tuesday!

WOW Melissa, this is just sooooooo sweet! Love it! :)

Melissa, this is one of the most gorgeous cards I have seen--how you take a modern, hip piece like a two-piece swimsuit, and still give it that incredible shabby, elegant, romantic look just amazes me. . . Wow!
