I love the different shades of sunshine....the soft glow in the morning...the brilliant gold in the afternoon....but especially the caramel sunshine in the late afternoon...I love how it turns everything honey-ish and warm. I was enjoying a book in the park while my little one was playing the other day and noticed how yummy everything looked around me.
I'm busy, busy this morning, but wanted to see if I had time to come a post a project of two for you. I love these warm, earthy, fruity colors...and berries of course too. The sweet vintage image is a Creative Scrap from Crafty Secrets, the die cut and green paper from Collage Press, the stamp and yellow paper from October Afternoon, the metal signage and blossoms from Making Memories.
And, for Emma's Paperie this week. We were challenged to come up with a project based on color inspiration...this is mine....love these warm, summery colors as well....and am completely smitten with the canvas birdie from Prima. All of the supplies I used in this can be found HERE at Emma's along with many other projects from the other designers. They are all so beautiful.
So....my Story of Today is yet to be written....what would you write? I'm going to be thinking about my Story all day long and will be back later to share it and my Papertrey Ink release projects with you.
My little etsy shop is empty, empty. Thank you all for supporting me...I'll be posting just a couple of cards in there (hopefully daily), so please keep checking back.

Well it's no wonder your Etsy shop is empty! I can't imagine how you'd ever keep it filled when your artwork is so very pleasing. Your artwork is like a huge soft comforting hug. It's a ray of golden sunshine, it's sweet honeysuckle perfume, no wait, make that orange blossom. Both your cards are sensational.

What a great little birdie, love the texture and the added feather.
The strawberries look good enough to eat...
