Just because....

This post is "Just because" I worked my tail off when I should have been packing. I wanted to get more cards done and preposted, but it was not to be! I'm not ever as organized as I intend to be! BUT, I did get a few cards made and loaded onto the computer and I am posting this from our motel room on the coast of beautiful Maine!
This is our 7th year to come here for one week in July and we love it! We already have taken our morning walk and set our chairs up on some precious real estate out there. We've had breakfast and DH is doing dishes. (Yep, he's that great a guy!) We are blessed to be spending another day together reading, getting wet in the ocean and with our biggest decisions being when to call the sitter and check on the cats and where to have our lobster dinnah! Life is good!

Anyway, I love how this card turned out. I uses R81, 83 and 85 for my pinks and matched it to Girls Paperie paper. I just got this glittered flower in an order from scrapbook.com and I tinted the edges with some rose red ink and a sponge. I love Tilda's hair like this and wish Pauline would draw some others with this "do"! The sentiment is from PTI and the darker paper is from My Mind's Eye because it was a better match than any of the solid colors that I have.

The only thing I wish I'd had time to do was to sew on the card. I think that would have made it perfect and I may have to make another for dear Diana complete with stitching.

I can't find this Tilda in her store right now so if anyone knows the name of it I would love to know.

Getting closer to 200,000 hits and a giveaway at the end of July-hope you can stick around!

I also hope you are enjoying your own fabulous day today!

Bye for now,

Cheryl
