Time to do a little housekeepping and get ya’ll caught up! I simply can’t believe July is nearly half over and I’ve been so out-of-pocket the last two weeks it’s awful, but here goes…
June 14 is (or rather was) our son Jack’s birthday and to celebrate I made him a Birthday Cake. (We didn’t get to have our ‘Family Birthday Dinner’ until he came to visit over the 4th but that’s OK too!). I thought he’d like this colorful birthday cake because he has such a colorful personality. I’d gotten the SIZZIX Pop-Up Die for the Cake and have been wanting to try it out so it was a great opportunity to play with something new!
It went together quite well, I found the directions provided by SIZZIX to be very helpful and was surprised that it wasn’t as hard as I’d thought it would be!
The items for this card include:
Stamp Sets: Voila’ and Curvy Verses
Card Stock: YoYo Yellow, Retired In-Color Textured Card Stock Pacific Point and Kiwi Kiss, Real Red and Only Orange
Stampin’ Write Markers: Green Galore, Cameo Coral, Real Red, and Tempting Turquoise.
Embellishments: Green Galore Brads, Dazzling Diamonds, Sticky Strip double sided extra-sticky strip adhesive, and Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Hope your summer is going smoothly and you are enjoying this wonderful change of season….pant, pant, pant!
In case you didn’t know it, Texas is breaking records for 100+ days of heat and I hope it’s about to come to an abrupt halt…the last time we had a heat pattern like this was my first trip to Texas for my Brother & Sister-in-Law’s wedding, and it wasn’t enough to discourage my decision to marry a Texan then or stay now! It would be a welcome sight though to have an early and cool Fall, well it is wishful thinking but we can always hope right?
Stay cool! Katherine
